Okay, we are tasked with adding 38 and 9822. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 2 in column 1 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 2 in column 2 and get 6.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 8 in column 3 and get 8.

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

So, 38 + 9822 = 9860.
