10 10 10 = 9:30 (as in the time 9:50)

You can place one line anywhere on the left side of the equal sign to make this true.

could also be a | as in a 1.
fyi, 9:30 is 570 minutes after midnight.

10 10 10 turns to 10 t0 10 which equals 9:30.

5 + 5 + 5 = 450

Add one line anywhere on the equation to make it true.

EDIT: Oh and putting a slash through the equals sign to make it 5 + 5 + 5 (not equals sign) 450 isn't the solution.

5x + 5 + 5 = 450

Lol, not quite. (Adding a variable to the equation isn't the answer either)

I was going to say put the slash through the equal sign. 10 10 10 != 9:30 :p but it says left side so I dunno. I used to be good at these sorta things in middle school then high school happened and I got dumb.

5 to 5 to 5 = 4:50

^ That's not it either.

It's really simple actually.

You add a line to one of the + sign's in the upper left hand corner to make it a 4. So it would like like:

5 4 5 + 5 = 550

or

5 + 5 4 5 = 550
