Let's break this down. We're going to add 1210 and 3961 together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 6 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 9 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 3 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 1210 + 3961 = 5171.
