No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 1516 and 7718 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 8 in column 1 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 1 in column 2 and get 3.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 7 in column 3 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 7 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 1516 + 7718 = 9234.
