Let's solve this addition problem. We have 9740 and 5142, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 2 in column 1 and get 2.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 4 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 1 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 5 in column 4 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9740 + 5142 = 14882.
