OK, let's do this. We've got 9690 and 221 and we're adding them all together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 1 in column 1 and get 1.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 2 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 2 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 0 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 9690 + 221 = 9911.
