No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 8543 and 523 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 3 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 2 in column 2 and get 6.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 5 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 8543 + 523 = 9066.
