If there was anyone who believed that Rachel gets fed answers by computer, I think her solution to this one would suggest otherwise.

869 = ((50 + 8) × 2 + 8) × 7 + 1​

Once you get to 58 there's a rather simpler method staring you in the face.

I got that easier one before Rachel did: ((50 + 8) x (8 + 7)) - 1
