As long as 2 is not one of the primes that you are adding, then I can guarantee that you will get a composite. 2 is the only even Prime number. Any time you add two odd numbers together, you will get an even number (which is not prime). So if you add them in pairs, you will have three even numbers, which added together result in an even number, so it is composite. If you throw in 2 as one of the primes that you're adding, then your result is odd, and I don't know what else to say about your result.
You may mean: 3 and 5 are prime numbers that add up to the composite number of 8

When you add a prime number to itself, the result is always an even number greater than 2. For example, if you take the prime number 3 and add it to itself, you get 6, which is composite. Since the only even prime number is 2, adding any prime number greater than 2 to itself will always yield a composite number.
The three prime numbers that add up to 99 are 3, 5, and 91. However, 91 is not a prime number, so a combination of prime numbers that sums to 99 doesn't exist. The only way to express 99 as a sum of prime numbers would involve at least one composite number.
Not necessarily. For example 15 and 16 are composite numbers. They add to 31, which is a prime number. Similarly, the composite numbers 20 and 21 add up to 41, which is a prime number.
The sum of two prime numbers will be composite unless one of the prime numbers is 2.

The first two prime numbers add up to another prime number.

no, not all prime numbers are closed under addition. why? because, when you add 2 prime numbers you will not always get a prime number. example: 5+3= 8 5 and 3 are prime numbers but their sum is 8 which is a composite number..

No, they are not. You can add two composite numbers, 15 and 14 for example, and get a sum, 29, that is prime.
The only number between 30 and 40 with distinct prime factors which add up to 12 is 35.
