No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 596 and 2970 and adding them all up.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 7 in column 2 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 9 in column 3 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

So, 596 + 2970 = 3566.
