Let's solve this addition problem. We have 8243 and 3238, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 8 in column 1 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 3 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 2 in column 3 and get 4.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 3 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8243 + 3238 = 11481.
