We've got two numbers: 1297 and 7297. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 7 in column 1 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 9 in column 2 and get 19.
We'll write down the last digit 9 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 2 in column 3 and get 5.

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

So, 1297 + 7297 = 8594.
