Got a puzzle for y'all

Can you use the numbers from 1-9 (1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9) and get to one hundred.

Rules...

  • Numbers can be paired (eg 1&2 can be used as 12, 9&5 can be used as 95 etc)
  • The only 'operators' that are allowed are '+' & '-'
  • Numbers can only be used once.
  • All numbers must be used.


Closest i've got is 102 (or 100 - but i forgot to use the '7' :bang:)
 
98+2+7+6-3-4-5-1=100

Here's another couple of rather elegant solutions if I may say so myself

123-45-67+89=100 (not sure if this one counts as 123 is not a "pair")

or

12+3-4+5+67+8+9=100
