Not to worry, we've got 971 and 6804. Let's get to adding them!

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 0 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 3 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 6 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 971 + 6804 = 7775.
