Hey Craven due to my own stupitdity I have figured your riddle but do not know how to write it in proper mathematical terms. If 3 times 3 equals 9 then you were to take 7 minus 7 to give you 0 then take in the equation using your derived answer of 9 multiply that by 3 which equals 27 though if you take away 3 tou end up with 24, see you did not use 9 it was derived, it simply was a result of the equation
Mellow, that might get 24 but it the result would be fairly easy if the rules of the riddle could be ignored.
By this I mean that your solution would use: 3,3,7,7 AND 2 more 3s.
The extra 3s make it a heck of a lot easier to solve but are not part of the riddle. The only difficulty in the riddle is that you are forced to use only two 3s and two 7s.
elow there
3/7+3=24/7*7 to cancel the demominator 7 to get 24 easy
