Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 609 and 9143 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 3 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 0 & 4 in column 2 and get 5.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 1 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 9 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 609 + 9143 = 9752.
