As a logistics coordinator, you are optimizing a shipping budget. The cost model simplifies to the equation $\frac{1}{12}x + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{3}{4}$. You need to recall the standard procedure for 'clearing fractions' to make this equation easier to solve. What is the correct first step you should take to clear all the fractions at once?

In a logistics budget reconciliation, a coordinator models costs using the equation $\frac{1}{12}x + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{3}{4}$. To efficiently solve for $x$, the coordinator uses the 'clearing fractions' strategy. Arrange the following steps in the correct order to apply this strategy.

A logistics coordinator is using the linear equation $\frac{1}{12}x + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{3}{4}$ to determine stock levels. To simplify the equation, the coordinator uses the 'clearing fractions' strategy. Match each component of the original equation with its corresponding value or expression after the fractions have been cleared.

A logistics coordinator is analyzing a formula for transport costs: $\frac{1}{12}x + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{3}{4}$. To 'clear the fractions' and simplify the solving process, the coordinator must multiply both sides of the equation by the Least Common Denominator (LCD). For this specific equation, the LCD of 12, 6, and 4 is ____.
