Default 5+5+5=550.. no im serious it is. look

Yes this is a pretty old trick but there wasnt any posting going on so i got bored. okay, you have to make 5+5+5=550 be a true statement. you can: draw a horizontle, diagonal, or vertial line any where in the problem but NOT on the equal sign. =) have fun. if someone gets the answer ill tell you if it's right or not.

~Edit~ wasn't sure if this should go in the critical thinking so i just put it here in chit chat.

There are an infinate number of solutions to your problem. For instance, change it into 111+111+111+111+1+100-10+5+5+5=550, but the simplest solution would probably be to make it 15+15+15=-5+50 which is adding 6 lines.

Add a / on to the second +, making it a 4. It's hard to put it on the computer, but you understand. 5 + 545 = 550. =) I win.

lol if you add a diagonal line to the + then it makes the plus a 4 put the / on the top left of the + but the diagonal line smaller so it makes ita 4. and that makes 545+5=550. the first plus is gone since you added the line to it.

I had no idea the answer to that one, but I am proud to say I was the only one who voted yes before the answer was revealed.
