Okay, we are tasked with adding 9257 and 8802. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 0 in column 2 and get 5.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 8 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

So, 9257 + 8802 = 18059.
