We have numbers 7557 and 5221. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 1 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 2 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 2 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 5 in column 4 and get 12.
