No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 6531 and 1168 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 8 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 6 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 1 in column 3 and get 6.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 1 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 6531 + 1168 = 7699.
