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
