Let's break this down. We're going to add 9003 and 6695 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 5 in column 1 and get 8.

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 0 & 6 in column 3 and get 6.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 6 in column 4 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9003 + 6695 = 15698.
