We have numbers 953 and 5486. Let's start adding them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 8 in column 2 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 4 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 0 & 5 in column 4 and get 6.

So, 953 + 5486 = 6439.
