This equation, in Roman numerals, indicates that 6 + 2 = 5. By moving one line, make it a correct equation.

VI + II = V

    Take the vertical line in the plus sign and put it in front of the V on the right side: VI – II = IV
    (6 – 2 = 4)

    Yes, that’s correct. There’s also one other way you can do it and still come up with a correct answer.

    Take the vertical line in the plus sign and put it in front of the VI to get VII – II = V.

    Very good! That’s what we got too.

    Take the vertical line…(and I didn’t cheat I got this by myself) place it with the V & I so it becomes a subraction problem-then subtract.

    Take the vertical line from the plus sign. Sorry didn’t specify. This was the only one I did by my self!:)
