Okay, we are tasked with adding 3976 and 1917. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 7 in column 1 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 1 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 9 in column 3 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 1 in column 4 and get 5.
