Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 8153 and 8953 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 3 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 5 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 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 8 & 8 in column 4 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8153 + 8953 = 17106.
