Equation puzzle 5 + 5 + 5 = 550 You can correct this equation by the addition of one straight line; where do you put it? When you’ve sussed it, keep the answer to yourself and let others try it. ANSWER Place the line diagonally at the top left of a "plus" sign, changing it into a 4. Although not the intended answer, you could strike through the "equals" sign making it a "not equals"

I'm always in for a puzzle!
First one
T+2 = J J+2 = 3(T-2)
=> T+4 = 3T-6 => 2T = 10 => T=5 => J=7
Second one has a plasticky feel about it!
