Okay, we are given 9550 and 8425. Let's add them up step by step.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 5 in column 1 and get 5.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 2 in column 2 and get 7.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 4 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9550 + 8425 = 17975.
