We've got two numbers: 5599 and 1089. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 9 in column 1 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 2 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 0 in column 3 and get 6.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 1 in column 4 and get 6.

So, 5599 + 1089 = 6688.
