No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 2020 and 5997 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 7 in column 1 and get 7.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 9 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 9 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 5 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 2020 + 5997 = 8017.
