Okay, we are tasked with adding 2690 and 9026. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 6 in column 1 and get 6.

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 6 & 0 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, 2690 + 9026 = 11716.
