OK, let's do this. We've got 8957 and 6238 and we're adding them all together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 3 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 2 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 6 in column 4 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8957 + 6238 = 15195.
