Let's solve this addition problem. We have 3248 and 7997, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 7 in column 1 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 9 in column 2 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 9 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 3 & 7 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 3248 + 7997 = 11245.
