Let's break this down. We're going to add 2988 and 9130 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 3 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 1 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 9 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 2988 + 9130 = 12118.
