Let's break this down. We're going to add 923 and 851 together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 5 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 3 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 923 + 851 = 1774.
