OK, let's do this. We've got 2539 and 423 and we're adding them all together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 3 in column 1 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 4 in column 3 and get 9.

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

So, 2539 + 423 = 2962.
