No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 4257 and 9739 and adding them all up.

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 5 & 3 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 7 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 9 in column 4 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 4257 + 9739 = 13996.
