Not to worry, we've got 294 and 2012. Let's get to adding them!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 2 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 1 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 0 in column 3 and get 3.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 2 in column 4 and get 2.

So, 294 + 2012 = 2306.
