We have numbers 3021 and 2788. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 8 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 8 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 0 & 7 in column 3 and get 8.

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

So, 3021 + 2788 = 5809.
