OK, let's do this. We've got 2055 and 542 and we're adding them all together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 4 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 5 in column 3 and get 5.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 0 in column 4 and get 2.

So, 2055 + 542 = 2597.
