Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 281 and 5384 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 4 in column 1 and get 5.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 8 in column 2 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 5 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 281 + 5384 = 5665.
