Let's break this down. We're going to add 2096 and 5745 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 5 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 9 & 4 in column 2 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 7 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 5 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 2096 + 5745 = 7841.
