Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 1290 and 6088 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 8 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 2 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 0 in column 3 and get 3.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 6 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 1290 + 6088 = 7378.
