Mental math tricks are important.

Take 2 from the 7 and give it to the 8. You now have 10 + 5. Much easier math.

Yes, that seems easier to me as well! I was not allowed to do this according to the teacher when I was a child. They wanted me to do it in some weird counterintuitive way. But I was very stubborn and I am still doing calculations in this way. She is not the boss of the way I think!
