We have numbers 1188 and 6738. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 8 in column 1 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 3 in column 2 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 7 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 6 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 1188 + 6738 = 7926.
