Just add and subtract in base 2

x + 1011 + 1101 = 11101
x + 11000 = 11101
= 101

or , copping out and changing to base 10

1011<sub>2</sub> = 11<sub>10</sub>
1101<sub>2</sub> = 13<sub>10</sub>

11101<sub>2</sub> = 29<sub>10</sub>
y + 11 + 13 = 29
y = 5
and 5<sub>10</sub> = 101<sub>2</sub> , as above
