No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 5173 and 3124 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 4 in column 1 and get 7.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 2 and get 9.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 3 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 5173 + 3124 = 8297.
