Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 3984 and 1960 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 0 in column 1 and get 4.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 6 in column 2 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 9 in column 3 and get 19.
We'll write down the last digit 9 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 1 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 3984 + 1960 = 5944.
