I'm not sure if this violates the rules, but:

x = 7 * 3
y = (3 - 7)

(x)-(y)-(x/x) = 24

[/ QUOTE ]

ya cause its the wrong answer

[/ QUOTE ]

I got the answer, no? I used the standard functions, only used each number once, and came out with 24. So, how's it wrong?

You didn't use each number once. Just cos you said x = 7*3, you still used x multiple times, and therefore used 7,3 multiple times.
