Let's break this down. We're going to add 1009 and 6203 together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 0 in column 2 and get 1.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 2 in column 3 and get 2.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 6 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 1009 + 6203 = 7212.
