OK, let's do this. We've got 8243 and 7500 and we're adding them all together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 0 in column 1 and get 3.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 0 in column 2 and get 4.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 7 in column 4 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8243 + 7500 = 15743.
