Let's solve this addition problem. We have 7209 and 909, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 9 in column 1 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 0 in column 2 and get 1.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 9 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 0 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 7209 + 909 = 8118.
