Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 9248 and 7472 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 2 in column 1 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 4 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 7 in column 4 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9248 + 7472 = 16720.
