Explanation:

Answer 2

B.

Explanation:

Step 1: Cross-multiply

x² + 2x = 4x²

Step 2: Isolate x's

2x = 3x²

0 = 3x² - 2x

Step 3: Factor

x(3x - 2) = 0

Step 4: Find roots

x = 0, x = 2/3

Step 5: Double check answers.

When you do so, you should see that only x = 0 works. And we have our answer!
