7 + (2/2) = 8
7+3-2= 8
2(7-4)=8
(.5 * 2) + 7 =8
(2 * 7) - 6 =8
2 7 7 =8
7.8 + .2 = 8 (7+9) / 2=8
Still thinking about 5 and 7...
edit: just 7 now...peek to see.

Re: Progress so far...
I meant that it is only 7 I am stumped on, you should see that 5 is already done. 7 has taken the lion's share of my time thinking about this - I'm going to have to go away and let my subconscious do a bit of work....
