We've got two numbers: 6991 and 5762. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 2 in column 1 and get 3.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 6 in column 2 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 7 in column 3 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 5 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 6991 + 5762 = 12753.
