Answer

$5600(1+rt)$

Work Step by Step

The original expression is $A=5600+5600rt$. Because $5600$ is a standalone number and also the coefficient to $rt$ in the original equation, we can easily factor it out. $5600(1+rt)$ To check your work use the distributive property. If you multiply $5600$ by $1$, you have $5600$. $1\times5600=5600$ If you multiply $5600$ by $rt$, you have $5600rt$. $5600\times rt =5600rt$ $5600+5600rt=5600(1+rt)$
