We've got two numbers: 1131 and 8618. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 8 in column 1 and get 9.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 6 in column 3 and get 7.

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

So, 1131 + 8618 = 9749.
