Let's solve this addition problem. We have 1985 and 2844, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 4 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 4 in column 2 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 3 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 2 in column 4 and get 4.

So, 1985 + 2844 = 4829.
