Move just one matchstick to fix the equation 6+4=4
Move just One matchstick to fix the equation.
This math question seems simple, however, there are multiple solutions.
Move vertical stick from plus sign to empty place of six. The equation will become 8-4=4. Which is True.
move one of the sticks in 6 (making it 5)
And make 4 on the other side 9.
The consequent equation is 5+4=9
Move the middle stick of the 6 to make it a 0, 0+4=4
move the vertical stick from the addition sign to the 6, making it 8..
Now the equation becomes 8-4=4
Move blue stick from 6 to the top of the 4. That makes the equation 5+4=9.
Move the green stick from the middle of the 6 and put it on the right-top side of the 6. That makes the equation 0+4=4.
Take the yellow stick from the plus sign, and put it on the empty space on the 6. That makes it 8-4=4.
5+4=9 (remove stick from the 6 and add to the 4 to create a 9)
8-4=4 (remove stick from the plus sign and create an 8 from the 6)
