RHS = 8
LHS = RHS
Answer Number 2
Pick a stick from the first number 8 such that it transforms to form the number 6 and put that in the number 4 such that it becomes 9.
LHS = 6+3-9=9-9=0
RHS = 0
LHS = RHS
Answer Number 3
Pick a stick from the third number 4 such that it transforms to form the number 11.
LHS = 8+3-11=11-11=0
RHS = 0
