We are presented with 9498 and 3100. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 0 in column 2 and get 9.

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

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

So, 9498 + 3100 = 12598.
