Using the numbers [22, 16, 8, 1], create at least three different ways to create an equation that equals 23. You can use basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /) and each number can only be used once. Show your work in <think> </think> tags. And return the equations and results in <answer> </answer> tags, for example <answer> (22 - 16) * 8 + 1 = 23 </answer> for the first one. For the second one, show a different approach like <answer> 16 + (22 - 8) / 1 = 23 </answer>. Lastly, here is your third approach: <answer> 8 + 8 - 1 + 16 / (22 + 1) = 23 </answer>.<|im_end|>
