Question

Henrietta solved a rational equation. Her work is shown. How could she solve it in a simpler way?

A:She could use the least common multiple of the denominator.
B:She could use the distributive property correctly.
C:She could factor the quadratic expression correctly.
D:She could combine like terms correctly.

Answer 1

Henrietta solved a rational equation by multiplying both sides by
`3x^(2)(x+2)` .She did not find the least common multiple of the denominators .If she had find the least common denominator which is 3x(x+2) then the question can have been simplified in more simpler form.

Henrietta can have got rid of denominator and then use the distributive rule .

So the first option

A:She could use the least common multiple of the denominator is right
