Okay, we are given 7200 and 5971. Let's add them up step by step.

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 0 & 7 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 7 & 5 in column 4 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 7200 + 5971 = 13171.
