A logistics coordinator is using the equation $\frac{3r+5}{6} + 1 = \frac{4r+3}{3}$ to calculate a shipping efficiency rate $r$. To begin solving this equation by clearing fractions, what is the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of the denominators 6 and 3?

A small business owner is calculating a monthly growth rate $r$ using the equation $\frac{3r+5}{6} + 1 = \frac{4r+3}{3}$. To solve this equation by clearing the fractions, arrange the steps below in the correct chronological order.

A production supervisor uses the linear equation $\frac{3r+5}{6} + 1 = \frac{4r+3}{3}$ to calculate a waste reduction rate $r$. To clear the fractions, the supervisor multiplies every term on both sides of the equation by the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 6. Match each part of the original equation with its simplified form immediately after this multiplication step.

A logistics coordinator is using the linear equation $\frac{3r+5}{6} + 1 = \frac{4r+3}{3}$ to calculate a shipping efficiency rate $r$. When applying the method of 'clearing fractions,' the coordinator only needs to multiply the terms that have denominators ($\frac{3r+5}{6}$ and $\frac{4r+3}{3}$) by the Least Common Denominator of 6.

Verifying Solutions in Linear Equations

An operations manager at a regional logistics hub is solving the linear equation $\frac{3r+5}{6} + 1 = \frac{4r+3}{3}$ to determine a shipping efficiency rate $r$. To clear the fractions, the manager must multiply every term on both sides of the equation by the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is 6. Immediately after this multiplication step (but before combining any like terms), the constant term $+1$ in the original equation simplifies to the integer ____.
