Let's break this down. We're going to add 8608 and 8321 together.

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

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 3 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 8 in column 4 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8608 + 8321 = 16929.
