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.

Henrietta is pretty good at algebra and doesn't appear to have done anything incorrectly. She could have avoided the extra factor of x throughout by choosing to multiply both sides by the least common denominator instead of just the product of the denominators (which is also a common denominator, just not necessarily the least) .
