Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 8761 and 2528 and we're adding them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 2 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 5 in column 3 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 2 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.
