Let's break this down. We're going to add 8957 and 6801 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 1 in column 1 and get 8.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 3 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 6 in column 4 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8957 + 6801 = 15758.
