5 + 5 + 5 =/= 550
Or put a diagonal line joining the top and left arms of either plus sign making it a 4
545 + 5 = 550
5 + 545 = 550

You were asked to make the equation work, not make it into an inequality. So 5+5+5 does not equal 550 is not the answer.

this puzzle can be solved by adding a line vertical line on the = sign which will make the sum as 5+5+5 is not equal to 550 which makes the sum a valid sum

The not equal is to easy...
Diagonal line in the first + gives (or second) :
545+5 = 550.

Tom got it. Turn the first + into a 4 by adding a straight line.

have to agree with all the previous answers. straight line on first plus sign turns it into '4' or line through equals symbol makes it correct.

You could put a slash through the = sign indicating "not equal to"
