Solving 0x10 + 0xfe: What's the Answer?

In summary, when working with 8-bit unsigned values, the result of adding 0x10 and 0xfe is 0x0e, which is equal to decimal 14. This is because the base system is 16 and the addition of these two numbers results in an overflow, rather than a reset, leading to a smaller value.

Question: With 8-bit unsigned values, 0x10 + 0xfe =
Answer: 0x0e, which is decimal 14.What I know;
The prefix 0x is used in code to indicate that the number is being written in hex. Base 16.
I also am aware that with 8-bit unsigned values it goes from a range of 0 to 255.

Need help with:
Is this working? 10+f = (10+15, the base system is 16 so this is bigger so resets?) 0?
0+e(14)=14, meaning 0x0e I have probably done the working wrong so that's why I need help. Thanks.

Hint: if you use 16bit -
1) 0x10 + 0xfe = 0x10e
2) 0x20 + 0xfe = 0x11e
And in 8 bit:
1) 0x10 + 0xfe = 0x0e
2) 0x20 + 0xfe = 0x1e
So it is more about overflow than reset.
