Let's break this down. We're going to add 7153 and 1599 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 9 in column 1 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 9 in column 2 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 5 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 1 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 7153 + 1599 = 8752.
