\\((26x)y\\)

the equivalent expression is
(use parentheses to indicate the pair of factors that are grouped.)

Explanation:

State the associative law of multiplication

$$ (a \cdot b) \cdot c = a \cdot (b \cdot c) $$

Apply the law to the given expression

$$ (26x)y = 26(xy) $$

Answer:

Use the associative law of multiplication to write an equivalent expression.
\((26x)y\)

The equivalent expression is <blank>\(26(xy)\)</blank>
(Use parentheses to indicate the pair of factors that are grouped.)
