Add the same amount to both numbers โ the gap, and the answer, never change
Equal-Addition Balance โ subtract a 7, 8 or 9 without borrowing.
For 163 โ 47: 47 needs +3 to reach 50, so add 3 to both numbers โ 166 โ 50 = 116. The gap between them is unchanged, so the answer is too โ and there is no borrow. You enter the method step by step โ the +k, both rewritten numbers, then the subtraction โ and each step unlocks only when the one before it is right. Five levels climb from 2- to 3-digit; the steps fade away as you climb until only a bare answer box is left, and a short timed boss caps each level.
