Okay, we are tasked with adding 7250 and 9606. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 6 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 0 in column 2 and get 5.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 6 in column 3 and get 8.

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

So, 7250 + 9606 = 16856.
