Not to worry, we've got 901 and 696. Let's get to adding them!

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 9 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 6 in column 3 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 901 + 696 = 1597.
