Let's get this math done. We have 1251 and 8973 and we're going to add them all together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 7 in column 2 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 8 in column 4 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 1251 + 8973 = 10224.
