We have numbers 8403 and 3575. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 5 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 7 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 5 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 3 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8403 + 3575 = 11978.
