Let's solve this addition problem. We have 2029 and 2409, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 9 in column 1 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 0 in column 2 and get 3.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 4 in column 3 and get 4.

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

So, 2029 + 2409 = 4438.
