Okay, we are tasked with adding 5201 and 6017. Let's begin!

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 1 in column 2 and get 1.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 0 in column 3 and get 2.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 6 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 5201 + 6017 = 11218.
