No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 3915 and 6973 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 3 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 7 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 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 3 & 6 in column 4 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 3915 + 6973 = 10888.
