Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 1742 and 7718 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 8 in column 1 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 1 in column 2 and get 6.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 7 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 7 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 1742 + 7718 = 9460.
