We've got two numbers: 9689 and 7925. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 5 in column 1 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 2 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 & 9 in column 3 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 7 in column 4 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9689 + 7925 = 17614.
