OK, let's do this. We've got 8600 and 9921 and we're adding them all together.

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

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 9 in column 3 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 9 in column 4 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8600 + 9921 = 18521.
