If you start with a two digit number $ab$ you get a palindrome in two cases:
* if $a+b \lt 10$ there will be no carry so you get $11(a+b)$
* if you carry $1$ and the ones digit is $1$, so when $a+b=11$
If you start with a three digit number $abc$ you get a palindrome:
* if there are no carries at all
* if $a+c =11$ so the ones digit of the sum is $1$ and there is a carry, then $2b+1$ does not carry and matches the $1$ that $a+c$ gives in the hundreds, so $b=0$
* if $a+c=11$ and $2b+1$ does carry there will be a $2$ in the hundreds, which $2b+1$ cannot match. This does not work.
