We are presented with 9600 and 9176. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 6 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 7 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 1 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 9 in column 4 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9600 + 9176 = 18776.
