We've got two numbers: 7234 and 5299. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 9 in column 1 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 9 in column 2 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 2 in column 3 and get 5.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 5 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 7234 + 5299 = 12533.
