We've got two numbers: 1981 and 7015. Let's find their sum.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 1 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 0 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 7 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 1981 + 7015 = 8996.
