Okay, we are tasked with adding 5001 and 7495. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 5 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 9 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 4 in column 3 and get 4.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 7 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 5001 + 7495 = 12496.
