OK, let's do this. We've got 2096 and 3000 and we're adding them all together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 0 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 0 in column 2 and get 9.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 3 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 2096 + 3000 = 5096.
