We are presented with 7438 and 5100. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 1 and get 8.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 1 in column 3 and get 5.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 5 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 7438 + 5100 = 12538.
