We have numbers 6434 and 8522. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 2 in column 1 and get 6.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 5 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 8 in column 4 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 6434 + 8522 = 14956.
