We have numbers 2250 and 5974. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 4 in column 1 and get 4.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 7 in column 2 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 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 2 & 5 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 2250 + 5974 = 8224.
