Let's solve this addition problem. We have 6643 and 9972, and we need to add them together.

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

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 9 in column 3 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 9 in column 4 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 6643 + 9972 = 16615.
