Answer:

The answer to this problem is 7892 and I would break down the problem one by one to get it. Also by working right to left since this is a addition problem.

Explanation:

How would I picture this in my mind?

This is how I would:

4290

+3602

------------

Now, we know 2+0=2 which results in the equation looking like this:

4290

+3602

------------

2

But we still have the rest to solve so we would repeat this process.

9+0=9. Now it would look like this:

4290

+3602

------------

92

6+2=8

4290

+3602

------------

892

4+3=7

4290

+3602

------------

7892

That is how I would solve this problem in my head. I hope this helps and if your still confused ask a question!
