According to the link below, "82+11" can be read as "eighty-two increased by eleven."
https://studopedia.org/3-12702.html
Is such reading really acceptable to native speakers?
 
I would say: eighty two plus eleven.
 
It's understandable in the given context, but (like some of the other examples there) totally unnatural.
