The only correct equation that can be used to find the number of mini-books in the school library is D. 2676 + x = 2676.

How to explain and solve

This equation is correct because it sums the number of mini-books in the town library (2676) with the unknown number of mini-books in the school library (x) to find the total number of mini-books in both libraries.

The other equations are incorrect because:

A. x = 2676 would only be correct if the school library had the same number of mini-books as the town library.

B. x / 2676 would not provide the actual number of mini-books in the school library; it would only give a ratio of the number of mini-books in the school library to the number of mini-books in the town library.

C. 2676 / x would not provide the actual number of mini-books in the school library; it would only give a ratio of the number of mini-books in the town library to the number of mini-books in the school library.

Therefore, the only correct equation that can be used to find the number of mini-books in the school library is D. 2676 + x = 2676.
