Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 3481 and 4975 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 5 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 7 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 4 & 9 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

So, 3481 + 4975 = 8456.
