OK, let's do this. We've got 5038 and 4842 and we're adding them all together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 2 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 3 & 4 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 8 in column 3 and get 8.

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

So, 5038 + 4842 = 9880.
