The number system works with the upright triangle representing 1, right-pointing triangle as 3 and left-pointing triangle as 9. If the 1-triangle and 3-triangle are not in the 1-3-9-triangle order, they are assigned a negative values of -1 and -3 respectively. This is shown in the table below.

According to this number system, the two numbers and their sum are: 11 + 13 = 24 11+13 = \boxed{24} .
