We've got two numbers: 128 and 9554. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 4 in column 1 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 5 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 5 in column 3 and get 6.

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

So, 128 + 9554 = 9682.
