Sure thing! We've got 17 and 6982 and we're gonna add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 1 and get 9.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 9 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 6 in column 4 and get 6.
