We've got two numbers: 1974 and 4235. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 5 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 3 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 2 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 1 & 4 in column 4 and get 6.

So, 1974 + 4235 = 6209.
