Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 169 and 9678 and we're adding them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 7 in column 2 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 6 in column 3 and get 8.

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

So, 169 + 9678 = 9847.
