We have numbers 3461 and 8825. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 5 in column 1 and get 6.

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 4 & 8 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 3 & 8 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 3461 + 8825 = 12286.
