Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 8447 and 9530 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 0 in column 1 and get 7.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 3 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 5 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 9 in column 4 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8447 + 9530 = 17977.
