We've got two numbers: 3217 and 921. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 1 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 2 in column 2 and get 3.

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 3 & 0 in column 4 and get 4.

So, 3217 + 921 = 4138.
