To clarify: 7 and 9 were arbitrary numbers. It could have been any two single digit addends. I didn't mean to focus on the manipulating the 9 factor. 3 and 5, 6 and 8, what process do you use to instantly know, or are there calculations involved?

Maybe I sorta rewrite like this:

7+9

9+7

XXXXX XXXX.  + XXXXX XX
          ^           v
          -------------

XXXXX XXXXX
XXXXX X

16

3+5
5+3
XXXXX XXX
8

2xxxxx1        6xxx
x                  x
3xxxx      x        x
     x    xxx   7xx
      4    x        x
     x             x
5xxx           8xxx

8

6+8

XXXXX X.... + XXXXX XXX (aka double XXXX)
         ^                            v
         ------------------------------

XXXXX XXXXX
XXXX

These are based on habits learned when I was 4, perhaps.

It reminds me of chemistry.
