D. Subtraction property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation . We are asked the property used in the second step of equation to solve it.

Step 1:

Step 2:

We can see that is subtracted from both sides of equation.

We know that subtracting same quantity from both sides of equation is known as subtraction property of equality.

Therefore, option D is the correct choice.

the answer is a and d
