Let's solve this addition problem. We have 6729 and 1257, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 7 in column 1 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 5 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 1 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 6729 + 1257 = 7986.
