No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 834 and 1142 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 2 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 4 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 1 in column 3 and get 9.

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

So, 834 + 1142 = 1976.
