Using the numbers 2,7,13,11,5 can you get the total of 23? (You must use all numbers, no negatives, no using each number more than once, and only use Subtraction, Multiplication, addition, and division, you can also group numbers)

Answer:

(2-7)/5 + 13 + 11

Explanation:

There's a lot of guess and check that needs to go into this to make this work, but here's what I got:

(2-7)/5 + 13 + 11

-5/5 + 13 + 11

-1 + 13 + 11

24 - 1

23
