Answer:
Algebraic grouping symbols parentheses, brackets, braces, radicals, and fraction lines show where a group starts and ends, and help to establish the order used to apply math operations. Terms inside a grouping symbol have to be operated upon before they can be acted upon by anything outside the grouping symbol.
Thanks for letting me help!!
The equation looks like this:
26=x*3.5+8.50
where x is the number of pen you bought.
We solve it like this:
first, we subtract 8.50 from both sides:
17.50 =3.5*x
now we divide both sides by 3.5:
5=x
so you purchased 5 pens.
Depends on if you want it rounded.
14.47
