Using the numbers [16, 2, 9, 7], create an equation that equals 102. Use the basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /) to solve this puzzle and show your work in <think> </think> tags. Additionally, provide the final equation and the result in the following format: <answer> </answer> where the first part is the equation itself and the second is the result. For example, <answer> (2 * 9) + 7 = 25 </answer> would be an incorrect solution as the result 25 is not 102. Show your working in clear steps and provide your final equation and solution in the form outlined. Your aim is to find a solution that reaches exactly 102. Achieve this and communicate your solution clearly.<|im_end|>
