No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 2273 and 9440 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 0 in column 1 and get 3.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 4 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 2 & 4 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 9 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 2273 + 9440 = 11713.
