We are presented with 9705 and 2294. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 4 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 9 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 3 and get 9.

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

So, 9705 + 2294 = 11999.
