No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 171 and 7008 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 8 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 0 in column 2 and get 7.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 7 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 171 + 7008 = 7179.
