as would be assuming that these are representations of conventional numbers, in which case the answer for number bases of five or more would be
Why do wives cheat on their loyal husbands?
11010X
However, X +X^2 +X^3 + X^4 is a valid algebraic answer,
and for binary would be
*Note that the abbreviation XL (for XXXX) appeared quite late in the Roman period, and never found universal favour
It’s a matter of interpretation.
What is the sum of X+XX+XXX+XXXX?
