We have numbers 6009 and 9268. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 1 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 6 in column 2 and get 7.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 9 in column 4 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 6009 + 9268 = 15277.
