The old 24 game

Here are the rules: You must find an arithmetic combination (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) that uses each of the four numbers exactly once (and no other numbers) as well as the basic arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
The first one to reply with the correct combination, own the right to start another challenge, and so on...
I'll start first:

7 - 7 - 3 - 4

7 x 4= 28
28 - 7= 21
21 + 3= 24

or
7 x 3= 21
21 - 4= 17
17 + 7= 24


Mine: 9-2-9-3

3 * 2 = 6
6 + 9 = 15
15 + 9 = 24


Next :

5 - 2 - 3 - 3

heres mine

Hum, here in Portugal we used to call it the 24 game.
You were supposed to solve mine first but whatever. The solution to your "flippo" is:

5 * 6 = 30
30 - 5 = 25
25 - 1 = 24

It continues with my previous post:
5 - 2 - 3 - 3

5 + 2= 7
7 * 3 = 21
21 + 3=24


Mine: 9-1-7-7

9 + 1 = 10
10 + 7 = 17
17 + 7 = 24

Next : 3 - 3 - 5 - 3
