Let's get this math done. We have 9716 and 2572 and we're going to add them all together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 2 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 7 in column 2 and get 8.

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 & 2 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9716 + 2572 = 12288.
