The broken printer math riddle seems simple, but may get a little tricky- especially since there are at least four different possible solutions.

The problem are as follows:
You have a malfunctioning printer that occasionally misprints.
It prints the following incorrect equation- 5+5+5=550.

*Where can you draw a single straight line to make this equation true??




Mods help ur boi

On the equal to (=) sign to give-- 5 + 5 + 5 ≠ 550
Which mean 5 + 5 + 5 is not equal to 550

Apparently,it's a correct answer

5 + 5 + 5 ≠ 550 is a correct equation abeg

You've told the audience to attempt two things-

1) Put a straight line in the equation- which I did by putting a slant STRAIGHT line on the equal to(=) sign.

2) Make sure the equation is correct. The equation " 5 + 5 + 5 ≠ 550" is mathematically correct.

What is now my offence .

Maybe there's another answer but this is also correct

Since it was misprinted, and the correction entails drawing a straight line, i would draw the line on, from the first No_5, to the equal to(=) sign!

Oya clap for urself

On the first addition sign (+) to create a '4', thereby having a clearer equation.. 545+5=550
