SHORT ANSWER FOR EXAM 
look at unit’s digit
7 + 4 = 2  
but in decimal 7 + 4 = 11 
so base of this number system is 11 – 2 = 9 (WHY and HOW ?? → see below explanation)
since now we know base is 9 so→ adding $342 + 562 = (1014)_{9}$

HOW TO ADD IN ANY BASE → 




Explanation →


CORRECTION → as long as two (1 digited) numbers are added, result will always be AT MAX 1x {x is a digit in that number system}
