OK, let's do this. We've got 4500 and 8954 and we're adding them all together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 4 in column 1 and get 4.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 5 in column 2 and get 5.

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 4 & 8 in column 4 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 4500 + 8954 = 13454.
