What level of math is this?
The only way it is possible is this.... if you have a system based on 12: that is, a system you increment your next higher digit by 1 when you reach 12: instead of the normal 10...
AND you only have one place for your answer so that carry over will actually overflow... Having 10 and add 3 to it you will increment at 12 and have 1 left over.
If this is a thinking project for a numbering system this is a valid analysis. I can't think of any other way this is possible.

10 + 3 = 1*13
Other than that, one could drop the "3" from "13", but the equation would be incorrect. Many mathematical "tricks" rely on small inaccuracies to work and can make it seem that 1 + 1 = 3.

It's not. You are probably missing some variables in between but 10+3=13

It's -(minus)10 + 3 =1, of course.

I agree with Taurus. 10 + 3 is 1 baker's dozen.

Its not, maybe somone just left off the 3 at the end. It was supposed to be 13. Either that or someone cant add very well. Good luck beacuse i dont know.
