Move one matchstick to make this a valid equation. Making the equal sign a not-equal sign isn't allowed.

Take the middle one on the left, burn the leftmost then set it down parallel to the remaining one on the lefthand side.

Move that stick to make an X, you have roman numeral XI=11

Push bothe ends of V together. 11=11

>> No.2709980

It's already a valid equation, given the right value of V.

Nope. sqrt(1) = 1 by definition.

Let N = 5

V = N

This is a valid solution regardless of whether
V is taken as a letter or a numeral

Wat.

>> No.2710769

<div class="math">v \equiv 11</div>

then v*1 = 11 (written as v1=11 in matches)
so the equation is valid

>> No.2710779

>>2710755
I think he meant that, that sign is the principal square root which is always taken to be positive.

>>2710654
You're just taking the I of VI and making a greater than or equal sign, doesn't actually look like >=.

1 x 1 = 1,
