Okay, we are tasked with adding 3038 and 3909. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 9 in column 1 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 0 in column 2 and get 4.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 9 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 3 in column 4 and get 6.
