Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 8672 and 9743 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 3 in column 1 and get 5.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 4 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 & 7 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 9 in column 4 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8672 + 9743 = 18415.
