We are presented with 9730 and 8203. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 3 in column 1 and get 3.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 4 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9730 + 8203 = 17933.
