We are presented with 6500 and 7453. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 3 in column 1 and get 3.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 4 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 7 in column 4 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 6500 + 7453 = 13953.
