We are presented with 8950 and 9565. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 5 in column 1 and get 5.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 6 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 9 & 5 in column 3 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 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, 8950 + 9565 = 18515.
