Let's break this down. We're going to add 2840 and 5502 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 2 in column 1 and get 2.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 0 in column 2 and get 4.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 5 in column 3 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 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.
