well, you're asked to simply grab the second version of that amount, or balance, and provide a common factored version of it, is all
so [tex]\bf A_2=(P+Pr)+(P+Pr)r
\\\\
\textit{now, let's take common factor}
\\\\
A_2=\underline{(P+Pr)}+\underline{(P+Pr)} r\impliedby \textit{see the common factor?}
\\\\
A_2=\underline{(P+Pr)}(1+r)[/tex]
