We have numbers 9463 and 2740. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 0 in column 1 and get 3.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 4 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 7 in column 3 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 2 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9463 + 2740 = 12203.
