We have numbers 294 and 8995. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 5 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 9 in column 2 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 9 in column 3 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 8 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 294 + 8995 = 9289.
