No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 6521 and 5394 and adding them all up.

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

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 5 & 3 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 5 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 6521 + 5394 = 11915.
