We've got two numbers: 6946 and 1053. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 3 in column 1 and get 9.

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 9 & 0 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 1 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 6946 + 1053 = 7999.
