Let's solve this addition problem. We have 5692 and 3161, and we need to add them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 6 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 6 & 1 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 3 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 5692 + 3161 = 8853.
