Let's break this down. We're going to add 3205 and 9734 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 4 in column 1 and get 9.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 7 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 9 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 3205 + 9734 = 12939.
