We have numbers 535 and 2429. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 9 in column 1 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 2 in column 2 and get 6.

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

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

So, 535 + 2429 = 2964.
