The answer is very simple and involves basic math and creativity to move the matchsticks. So, to find the answer, just follow these guidelines:

  • First, move the toothpick from number 6 to 4, turning it into a 5;
  • Then, move a toothpick from the first 4 and place it on itself, but in another position, so it (together with the other toothpick) can also form a 5.

So the equation will turn: 5 x 9 = 45. If you couldn't understand, view these guidelines in the following image.
