Okay, we are tasked with adding 361 and 6189. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 9 in column 1 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 8 in column 2 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 1 in column 3 and get 5.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 6 in column 4 and get 6.

So, 361 + 6189 = 6550.
