Let's break this down. We're going to add 9770 and 2922 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 2 in column 1 and get 2.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 9 in column 3 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 2 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9770 + 2922 = 12692.
