No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 3542 and 4437 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 7 in column 1 and get 9.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 4 in column 3 and get 9.

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

So, 3542 + 4437 = 7979.
