In Roman Numerals, 20 can be witten as XIX,
therefore by cancelling the I,
you would have XX which is twenty.

so the question is what operation call it "canceling" will have the property that canceling(1,19) results in 20 ? right ?
ok, the operation canceling is addition
because 1 + 19 = 20.
good day sir

if canceling is the same as "taking away" than my proposal would be:
take away "-1" from 19
19- (-1)=20 and you get twenty.

If we're working in base 12, ninteen is 12 + 9 = 21 in base ten. Hence subtracting one would yield twenty.
