No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 7794 and 4977 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 7 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 9 & 7 in column 2 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 9 in column 3 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 4 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 7794 + 4977 = 12771.
