Okay, we are tasked with adding 2218 and 3272. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 2 in column 1 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

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

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

So, 2218 + 3272 = 5490.
