Using the numbers [11, 33, 55, 77], create an equation that equals 88. You can use basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /) and each number can only be used once. Show your work in <think> </think> tags. Once you have the equation, return the process with the solution in <answer> </answer> tags, for example <answer> (11 + 33) * 1 = 44 </answer>. This will help you practice the Countdown game with multiple steps and different combinations of numbers.<|im_end|>
