Ready to do some math? We're starting with 7018 and 5540 and adding them up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 4 in column 2 and get 5.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 5 in column 3 and get 5.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 5 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 7018 + 5540 = 12558.
