Let's solve this addition problem. We have 2487 and 3501, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 1 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 2 and get 8.

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 2 & 3 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 2487 + 3501 = 5988.
