We have numbers 9500 and 38. Let's start adding them together.

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

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 0 in column 3 and get 5.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 0 in column 4 and get 9.
