No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 9517 and 1944 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 4 in column 1 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 4 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 9 & 1 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9517 + 1944 = 11461.
