Using the numbers [42, 12, 99, 34], create an equation that equals 293. You can use basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /) and each number can only be used once. The solution might require multiple steps, break down the calculation in <think> </think> tags and provide your work, finally showing your answer in <answer> </answer> tags, for example <answer> (42 + 99) * 12 / 34 = 293 </answer>.<|im_end|>
