OK, let's do this. We've got 6299 and 9786 and we're adding them all together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 6 in column 1 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 2 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 7 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 6 & 9 in column 4 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 6299 + 9786 = 16085.
