We have numbers 9759 and 7609. Let's start adding them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 0 in column 2 and get 6.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 6 in column 3 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 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, 9759 + 7609 = 17368.
