Hello, I was wondering if it's possible to make 8 with the numbers 5, 3, 5, and 7 under the following rules:
-You can only use 5 twice, 3 once, and 7 once.
-You must use all the numbers.
You can stack numbers to form larger numbers (example: I could take 3 and 5 and turn it into 35 or 53, or use 7, 3, and 5 to make 375.)
-You are allowed to use parentheses.
(Also, I already found out that no 3 digital numbers will work for the solution.)

(5 + 5) - (7 - 3) = 8

is equal to 8, so he solved the problem, he is not using eight
