Let's get this math done. We have 5971 and 2940 and we're going to add them all together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 4 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 9 in column 3 and get 19.
We'll write down the last digit 9 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 2 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 5971 + 2940 = 8911.
