1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 = 100

This equation is incomplete: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 = 100

One way to make it accurate is by adding seven plus and minus signs, like so.

1 + 2 + 3 – 4 + 5 + 6 + 78 + 9 = 100

How can you do it using only 3 plus or minus signs?

123 – 45 – 67 + 89 = 100

I have over 600 ways of doing this. I have been teaching Maths for almost 40 years and have set this challenge to my pupils every year. Some of the solutions are wonderfully arcane and others are astonishingly simple.
