Your number symbols must not have their normal integer meanings, because none of those statements are true.

Is your "*" symbol supposed to indicate multiplication, as it normally does when used in equations?
It looks similar to an old puzzle

2+6=6
4+1=7
8+3=10
so 5+5=8

based on the number of letters

two + six = 6
four + one = 7
eight + three = 10
so
five + five = 8

This might give a clue, but I can't see the answer at the moment.

I think this kind of problem should be considered recreational, for a teacher to assign it as "homework" and causing a student to be upset is ill-conceived.
I am not a fan of these either apart from as an 'end game' to wind down a lesson.
