No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 1494 and 8298 and adding them all up.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 9 in column 2 and get 19.
We'll write down the last digit 9 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 2 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 8 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 1494 + 8298 = 9792.
