Answer: I believe the answer would be answer choice D.

Step-by-step explanation: I know that it cannot be either B or C so those are both immediately out, as this equation is not using division or multiplication. I also do know that the Reflexive Property simply states that any real number equals itself, and that does not quite fit for this particular instance. D is the only one that makes sense to me here. I hope this helps!
