We've got two numbers: 7048 and 8043. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 3 in column 1 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 0 in column 3 and get 0.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 8 in column 4 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 7048 + 8043 = 15091.
