Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 4987 and 7071 and we're adding them together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 7 in column 2 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 0 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

So, 4987 + 7071 = 12058.
