Let's get this math done. We have 8422 and 9571 and we're going to add them all together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 7 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 5 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 9 in column 4 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8422 + 9571 = 17993.
