What is the sum of X+XX+XXX+XXXX?

11010X

*Note that the abbreviation XL (for XXXX) appeared quite late in the Roman period, and never found universal favour
1234X
and for binary would be
Catch Jupiter and Mercury side by side in the evening sky this week - Space

However, X +X^2 +X^3 + X^4 is a valid algebraic answer,
