We are presented with 4874 and 2705. Let's work out the 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 7 & 0 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 7 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 4 & 2 in column 4 and get 7.

So, 4874 + 2705 = 7579.
