Original solution still valid, but here’s a more efficient way to get 14.
((10 + 5 + 7*3)^.5 + 5*2)^.5 + 5*2=14
Multiplication is shown for simplicity but can be accomplished using addition only. Highest number displayed is 36
The last math puzzle (beer jugs) also used fives and sevens as the only valid inputs. Coincidence??

It’s all about making that GTA

What, nobody's going to try the negative root?
√ 5+5+5+5+5= -5
+7= 2
+7+7= 16
√ 16 =-4
+7+7= 10
+5+5+5= 25
√25= -5
+5+7+7= 14
√ 5+5+5+5+5= -5
+7= 2
+7+7= 16
√ 16 =-4
+7+7= 10
+5+5+5= 25
√25= -5
+5+7+7= 14
