Let's solve this addition problem. We have 9964 and 1940, and we need to add them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 4 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 9 & 9 in column 3 and get 19.
We'll write down the last digit 9 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 1 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9964 + 1940 = 11904.
