Fifty-seven matchsticks are laid out to form the above-mentioned sum, which is obviously incorrect.

Make the above sum correct by:
  1. Removing precisely two matchsticks.
  2. Removing precisely eight matchsticks.

• Each | counts as one stick.
• Each + counts as two sticks.
• The = counts as two sticks.
