We've got two numbers: 8514 and 7715. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 5 in column 1 and get 9.

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

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 8 & 7 in column 4 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8514 + 7715 = 16229.
