Let's solve this addition problem. We have 5500 and 9958, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 8 in column 1 and get 8.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 9 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 9 in column 4 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 5500 + 9958 = 15458.
