Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 2142 and 5953 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 3 in column 1 and get 5.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 5 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 9 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 2 & 5 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 2142 + 5953 = 8095.
