Using the numbers [6, 73], create an equation that equals 44. Remember, you can only use subtraction and multiplication in basic arithmetic operations, and the number 44 should be reached without using any other given number. Show your work in <think> </think> tags. And return the final equation and answer in <answer> </answer> tags, for example <answer> 15 - 11 + 3 = 7 </answer> if you needed to reach any number other than 44.<|im_end|>
