Let's break this down. We're going to add 1710 and 1434 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 4 in column 1 and get 4.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 3 in column 2 and get 4.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 4 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 1 in column 4 and get 3.

So, 1710 + 1434 = 3144.
