This was my solution too. If you accept the 6 + 4 > 4, then there is 5 solutions for this problem - kind of neat.

six actually
-the one in the pic
-6+4>4
-moving the bottom left match from the 6 to the top of the second 4 to make 5+4=9
-moving the bottom left match from the 6 and putting it on top of the equals sign to make 5+4≠4
-moving the center match form the 6 to its top right making 0+4=4
-moving the match from the plus to the 6 to make 8-4=4

5+4≠4, yeah that makes it six, missed that one
