Using the numbers [50, 60, 43, 17], create an equation that equals 242. You can use basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /) and each number can only be used once. Show your work in <think> </think> tags. And return the final equation in <answer> </answer> tags. For example, <answer> (3 * 4) + 5 = 17 </answer> would be incorrect as it only uses one operation, less than the allowed operations you could, or has two of the same numbers.<|im_end|>
