We have numbers 7137 and 5711. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 1 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 1 in column 2 and get 4.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 7 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 5 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 7137 + 5711 = 12848.
