Clearing Fractions for Resource Allocation

A project manager is solving the system of equations {x+12y=632x+23y=172\left\{\begin{array}{l} x + \frac{1}{2}y = 6 \\ \frac{3}{2}x + \frac{2}{3}y = \frac{17}{2} \end{array}\right. to manage resource allocation between two teams. To simplify the second equation, 32x+23y=172\frac{3}{2}x + \frac{2}{3}y = \frac{17}{2}, the manager multiplies all terms by the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 6. What is the resulting equation in standard form (Ax+By=CAx + By = C) after this multiplication?
