OK, let's do this. We've got 7980 and 8648 and we're adding them all 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 8 & 4 in column 2 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 6 in column 3 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 8 in column 4 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 7980 + 8648 = 16628.
