0 Guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 take the I at the end of the answer, and put it over the equal sign to make IX + VI ≠ XI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 unreality Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Do you mean: IX + VI ≠ X You could take any of the I's, really. IX + VI ≠ X X + VI ≠ XI IX + V ≠ XI IX - VI ≠ XI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 maybe I was reading wrong, but assuming they are all Roman Numerals and you want to move one (line) or letter to make the statement true..its possible.. IX + VI = XI IX + VI = XI to IX + IV = XI Just switch 6 to 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 This one is easy it doesn't say you have to use roman numerals so here is my solution you take the I from after the V and bend it to look like an S and put it in front of the IX which turns IX + VI = XI into SIX + V = XI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
