Good morning class, here we are again!

ACTION WILL BE TAKEN AGAINST ANYONE BREAKING THE RULES AND POSTING THE ANSWERS!
I'm trying to think of a horrible punishment!




Today's Puzzle
258

Using the numbers 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, and 7 (in any order), can you write a mathematical expression (e.g. (7x5)x(3+3)-(2÷2)) with a result equal to 258?

You may only use the four BASIC math operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) as well as parenthesis. Some additional rules:

1. You are not required to use all six numbers.
2. You may NOT join numbers (e.g. 7 and 5 to make 75).
3. You may only use a number as many times as it appears above.
4. You are not obliged to use all operators

Good luck!

HINT: You do not need to use the division operator.

Sorry, it's too difficult.

I have an easy, peasy one for tomorrow.
