Ready to do some math? We're starting with 9701 and 5506 and adding them up.

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

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 5 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 9 & 5 in column 4 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9701 + 5506 = 15207.
