✅ Correct!

In hexadecimal (base 16), when you borrow 1 from the digit in the column to its left, it means you are adding 161016_{10} (which is 101610_{16}) to the value of the digit in the current column.

This is similar to how in decimal (base 10) subtraction, when you borrow 1 from the tens place, you are adding 101010_{10} to the ones place. The value you borrow is always equal to the base of the number system.
