Look at the puzzle in the picture:
7 – 8 = 9 ❌ This is wrong because 7 minus 8 is -1, not 9.

Now, Move only one stick to make the equation correct.

Now lets solve this puzzle
Take the top stick from the number 7. Now the 7 becomes 1.
Put that stick on the minus sign (-) to turn it into a plus sign (+).

Now the new equation is:
1 + 8 = 9


Look at this second puzzle in the picture:
0 + 3 = 9 ❌ This is wrong because 0 + 3 is 3, not 9.

Take the left vertical stick from the number 0. Now, the 0 becomes a 6.

Now the new equation is:
6+3= 9
