Let's solve this addition problem. We have 974 and 3614, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 4 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 1 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 6 in column 3 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

So, 974 + 3614 = 4588.
