Okay, we are tasked with adding 2450 and 5074. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 4 in column 1 and get 4.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 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 4 & 0 in column 3 and get 5.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 5 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 2450 + 5074 = 7524.
