Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 1561 and 3725 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 5 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 2 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 7 in column 3 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

So, 1561 + 3725 = 5286.
