Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 5817 and 6309 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 9 in column 1 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 0 in column 2 and get 2.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 3 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 6 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 5817 + 6309 = 12126.
