OK, let's do this. We've got 7245 and 2397 and we're adding them all together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 7 in column 1 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 9 in column 2 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 7245 + 2397 = 9642.
