The sum of two numbers is 15,410.

Explanation:

We have to add two numbers using mental math trick. The numbers to be added is 7145 and 8265.

We can use the associative property of addition to solve this problem.

Associative property of addition states that:

`a + (b+c) = (a+b) + c`

Now,

7145 + 8265

`=(7000 + 100 + 40 + 5)0 + (8000 + 200 + 60 +5)\\=(7000 + 8000) + (100 + 200) + (40 + 60) + (5+5)\\=15000 + 300 + 100 + 10\\=15410`

Thus, the sum of two numbers is 15,410.
