Okay, we are given 2957 and 2141. Let's add them up step by step.

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 5 & 4 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 1 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 2 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 2957 + 2141 = 5098.
