Using the numbers [23, 17, 29, 8], create an equation that equals 52. You can use basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /) and each number can only be used once. Make sure to show your work step by step in <think> </think>, for example: <think>(17 - 8) * 23 = 273</think>. Then, confirm your answer with a final equation and response in <answer> </answer> tags, just like so: <answer> ((17 - 8) * 23) / 2 = 49.5 </answer>. <|im_end|>
