Let's solve this addition problem. We have 8503 and 964, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 4 in column 1 and get 7.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 6 in column 2 and get 6.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 9 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 8503 + 964 = 9467.
