Clearing Fractions in Supply Chain Models

A logistics analyst is using the equation 15(n+3)=14(n+2)\frac{1}{5}(n + 3) = \frac{1}{4}(n + 2) to solve for nn, the number of transit days required to equalize shipping costs between two routes. The analyst begins by clearing the fractions, multiplying both sides by the least common denominator, 20. State the exact simplified equation immediately after this multiplication step, before distributing any constants.
