We have numbers 7693 and 4550. Let's start adding them 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 9 & 5 in column 2 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 5 in column 3 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 4 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 7693 + 4550 = 12243.
