OK, let's do this. We've got 2549 and 1732 and we're adding them all together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 2 in column 1 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 3 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 7 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 2 & 1 in column 4 and get 4.

So, 2549 + 1732 = 4281.
