Sure thing! We've got 497 and 521 and we're gonna add them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 2 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 5 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 497 + 521 = 1018.
