you have to do this sum as you would make it in decimal base, that is, coloumnwise

E+E=4+4=8=I
N+N=13+13=26=BA
B+O+O=1+14+14=29=BD

So the result is BDAI

We know that $$ 1+1=2$$

This can be represented in your system as

$$B+B=C$$

Now consider the number 32 it can be written as $25+7$ which is equivalent to AH.

Now consider the number 53 this can be written as $ 25+25+3$ which is equivalent to BD.
