You'll note that there are a lot of similarities between




The shape of the 8 and the shape of the 3.




If we




Take away the parts of the 8 that are also on the 3, we're left with a 7. This is more clearly shown graphically below. A red 3 is placed over a blue 8, and the area left is a 7: enter image description here




So what the equation is saying is that




If we visually take a 3-shaped curve out of the 8-shape, we're left with a 7.

    Well spotted. I think you are on the right track but the question is "How to solve this equation by removing one element?". However you didn't remove anything since you state that the equation is already solved.

Here's a more serious attempt.



Subtraction:




enter image description here

You can just about make out $10 - 3 = 7$. The connected-element removed is the 'v' in the top loop of the '8'.




Addition:




enter image description here

It says $4 + 3 = 7$. The connected-element removed is the bottom of the '8'.

    The trick answer (cf 'lateral thinking' tag) is to remove the element of equality. This works for both equations.



    Admittedly, it does nothing for the 'visual' tag, other than that the element of equality covers the whole spatially finished equation in each case.



    :P

Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar.
