Equation equalization
This is equation is obviously illogical:
26=74
The question is, can you turn this equation into a sensible equation without adding any type mathematical signs or numbers or anything like that?

Make both 26 and 74 a number or coins adding up to the same amount.
((Hint: I have no idea))
well, if you turn the 2 upside down, it kinda becomes a 7, then if you turn the 6 upside down it becomes a 9. And sometimes the way people write a 9 it really looks like a 4. so it becomes 74=74.
Ok, so I really don't know, but I gave it a shot!
Write the 2 without the bottom bit and make it with lines, the flip the six around to make it a 9 and draw it with a straight line down and draw it straight too and add a extra - at the end of the curve.
74!
I'm not sure if this is allowed, but could you not just put a line through the = to make it 26 doesn't equal 74...
Or, if not, tip the = lines to make 26 < 74...
They're the only thoughts i have at this moment in time...
Remove one of the equal lines to get 26-74.
(The question said you can't add anything)
I agree with one of the guys above, tilt the equals sign so it makes, "26<74" it was the first thing to come to mind.
6
- = 7-4
2
My first thought was temperature conversion.. 26C = 74F.. but it's not right.. 26C is 78.8F.
The answer is simple... NO!
oh, its possible. 26 in base 27 is equal to 74 base 8.
K i meant with just moving around the numbers, but since i didn't 26<74 is right; but my answer is 7^2=49(it's suppose to be 7 squared but i couldn't make the little 2 and i flipped the 6 to a 9)
7^2=49 9 is 6 upside down
You could change the 7 into an L-
26L=4
Perfect algebra!
