Hint: There are three possible correct answers to this matchstick math problem!
Here are the answers:
In the first solution, move the middle, horizontal matchstick of the number “6” up and to the right to become a number “0.” The result will be “0 +4 = 4.”
The second solution is to move the vertical matchstick from the “+” sign and add it to the number “6” to make it an “8.” As a result, you now get “8-4 =4.”
The third solution is somewhat controversial, but it still is correct. Take the bottom-left vertical matchstick from the number “6” and add it to the top of the far right number “4” to make it become a “9.” Then, you get “5+4=9.” The controversy here is that many people don’t believe that this is a proper “9” but others say there is no set rule on what a “9” should look like, and therefore, the solution is fine!
