No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 9800 and 238 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 8 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 3 in column 2 and get 3.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 2 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 0 in column 4 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9800 + 238 = 10038.
