We have numbers 7218 and 2854. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 4 in column 1 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 5 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 8 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 4 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 7218 + 2854 = 10072.
