Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 1264 and 3980 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 0 in column 1 and get 4.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 8 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 2 & 9 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 1 & 3 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 1264 + 3980 = 5244.
