00:03 Each time consider combining 2 digits, and then we'll write

00:06 Let's start by adding ones with ones

00:09 Write down the ones

00:11 Add tens with tens

00:14 Write down tens in tens, add 1 to hundreds

00:19 Add hundreds with hundreds, remember to add 1

00:22 Write hundreds in hundreds, and add 1 to thousands

00:26 Write 0 in the missing digits

00:30 Add thousands with thousands, remember to add 1

00:34 Write in thousands

00:37 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

Step 1: Arrange the numbers vertically with 8974 on top and 264 below it.
Step 2: Add the numbers column by column, starting from the rightmost (units) column.
Step 3: Record the sum below the line, carrying over wherever necessary.

Let's perform the addition:

Step 1: Arrange the numbers vertically.

$\begin{array}{c} 8974 \\ +264 \\ \underline{\phantom{776}} \\ \end{array}$

Step 2: Begin adding from the rightmost column (units):

Units digit: $4 + 4 = 8$ , so write 8 in the units place.
Tens digit: $7 + 6 = 13$ , write 3 and carry over 1 to the hundreds column.
Hundreds digit: $9 + 2 + 1 = 12$ , write 2 and carry over 1 to the thousands column.
Thousands digit: $8 + 1 = 9$ , write 9.

Step 3: Write the final result:

$\begin{array}{c} 8974 \\ +264 \\ \underline{9238} \\ \end{array}$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $9238$ .
