OK, let's do this. We've got 8502 and 5972 and we're adding them all together.

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

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 5 & 9 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 8 & 5 in column 4 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8502 + 5972 = 14474.
