Okay, we are tasked with adding 1762 and 7043. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 3 in column 1 and get 5.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 4 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 7 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 1762 + 7043 = 8805.
