OK, let's do this. We've got 3238 and 6409 and we're adding them all together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 0 in column 2 and get 4.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 4 in column 3 and get 6.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 6 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 3238 + 6409 = 9647.
