No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 6945 and 8308 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 8 in column 1 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 0 in column 2 and get 5.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 3 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 6 & 8 in column 4 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 6945 + 8308 = 15253.
