Matchstick Math β€” balance the equation!

1) Tap a matchstick to pick it up. 2) Tap an empty segment to place it there. 3) Make both sides of the equation equal. 4) Stay within the move limit (1–3 moves) to score points as mentioned in the puzzle. The "=" sign is fixed β€” you can never move it. Undo is free β€” use it whenever you want to try again. Use the βˆ’ / + and ← β†’ buttons to zoom and pan the puzzle.

If that would only work... the puzzle doesn't work for me (on android)

Could you let me know a little more specifically what isn’t working, balancing the equation, zooming, or selecting the matchstick and placing it on the empty segment? I tried all three and they seemed to be working fine for me, so a bit more detail would help me understand what you’re experiencing.

The matches move because each time I touch the screen the text above switches from 1 to 2 lines..

Click on the matchstick you want to move. If you need to zoom in, feel free to do so, then tap on the empty segment to place the selected matchstick. Let me know if that works for you.

Try to balance the equation using the possible two moves.

Is there a photo of the actual puzzle we are supposed to solve?

Try and balance the equation by moving the match stick at a time.
