Let's break this down. We're going to add 2137 and 2143 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 3 in column 1 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 4 in column 2 and get 8.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 2 in column 4 and get 4.

So, 2137 + 2143 = 4280.
