OK, let's do this. We've got 6179 and 509 and we're adding them all together.

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 7 & 0 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 5 in column 3 and get 6.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 0 in column 4 and get 6.

So, 6179 + 509 = 6688.
