OK, let's do this. We've got 7978 and 2703 and we're adding them all together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 3 in column 1 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 0 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 7 in column 3 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 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, 7978 + 2703 = 10681.
