We have numbers 1168 and 9489. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 9 in column 1 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 8 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 & 4 in column 3 and get 6.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 9 in column 4 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 1168 + 9489 = 10657.
