Re: Solve twice
Are we allowed to add or remove anything, or do we just have to provide an explanation?

Re: Solve twice
Sorry...
No adding or taking away from the equation ... only move lines or numbers.

Re: Solve twice
I cannot argue, since I left out that detail too
Sorry guys!
First Bob...on your reply without the added "rule"... Yep spot on!
Now for the forgotten rule.
Only one item can be moved in each of the two solutions.

Move one of the lines of the = symbol to slightly above the - symbol, so that - becomes = and = becomes -:
101 = 102 - 1
101 = 102 - 1
