Procedure for Clearing Fractions in Business Formulas

In a corporate training session, you are asked to demonstrate how to simplify equations containing multiple fractions, such as $6 = \frac{1}{2}v + \frac{2}{5}v - \frac{3}{4}v$. Describe the 'clearing fractions' method by recalling and listing the specific sequence of steps required to solve this equation. In your response, identify the correct least common denominator (LCD) for this specific equation and explain how it is used to transform the equation into a form with only whole-number coefficients.
