This is why learning binary is so important. In base two, the same equasion is 1000+0111=1111, now you just convert back to decimal with: 8+4+2+1= sweats and starts counting on fingers before reaching for calculator

Right, as we all know, the most sensible way to do nonary algebra is in ternary, so we simply calculate 22+21 and convert back to nonary, and optionally decimal afterwards. So, 2 add 1 is 0, carry the 1, add it to 2 for 10, add the 2, carry the one, pad to 4 places and we have 0120, or 16 in base 9. Now to convert to decimal... removes shoes and socks
