We are presented with 8713 and 9235. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 5 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 3 in column 2 and get 4.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 9 in column 4 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8713 + 9235 = 17948.
