We are presented with 5724 and 1612. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 2 in column 1 and get 6.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 6 in column 3 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 1 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 5724 + 1612 = 7336.
