Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 1228 and 3754 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 4 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 2 & 5 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 7 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 3 in column 4 and get 4.

So, 1228 + 3754 = 4982.
