Hint
Reveal a hint
Move just one matchstick to turn the 9 into a 3 and use that match on the 5 to make a 6.
Why It Works
The equation becomes correct the moment you rearrange one matchstick. Removing a stick changes the 9 into a 3, and adding that same stick changes the 5 into a 6, so both sides balance.
