Let's solve this addition problem. We have 2693 and 844, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 4 in column 1 and get 7.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 4 in column 2 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 8 in column 3 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 0 in column 4 and get 3.

So, 2693 + 844 = 3537.
