Okay, we are tasked with adding 4967 and 4731. Let's begin!

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 6 & 3 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 7 in column 3 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 4 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 4967 + 4731 = 9698.
