No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 5897 and 3993 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 3 in column 1 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 9 in column 2 and get 19.
We'll write down the last digit 9 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 9 in column 3 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 3 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 5897 + 3993 = 9890.
