Okay, we are given 9480 and 9500. Let's add them up step by step.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 0 in column 1 and get 0.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 5 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 9 in column 4 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9480 + 9500 = 18980.
