8 is 2 short of ten, so split 5 into 2 and 3: 8 + 2 = 10, 10 + 3 = 13
2. 6 + 5 = 11
6 is 4 short of ten, so split 5 into 4 and 1: 6 + 4 = 10, 10 + 1 = 11
3. 3 + 8 = 11
8 is 2 short of ten, so split 3 into 2 and 1: 8 + 2 = 10, 10 + 1 = 11
4. 9 + 3 = 12
9 is 1 short of ten, so split 3 into 1 and 2: 9 + 1 = 10, 10 + 2 = 12

8 is 2 short of ten, so split 4 into 2 and 2: 8 + 2 = 10, 10 + 2 = 12
9. 5 + 7 = 12
7 is 3 short of ten, so split 5 into 3 and 2: 7 + 3 = 10, 10 + 2 = 12
10. 7 + 4 = 11
7 is 3 short of ten, so split 4 into 3 and 1: 7 + 3 = 10, 10 + 1 = 11
