A good first step to get \( l \) by itself could vary based on the context of the equation or expression you are working with. However, if the goal is to isolate \( l \), the most relevant choices are typically:
C. Subtraction property of equality - This is useful if you have a term added to \( l \) that you need to move to the other side of the equation.
D. Division property of equality - This is useful if \( l \) is multiplied by another term and you need to divide to isolate \( l \).
Without more context, if I'm to choose logically from a general standpoint, **C. Subtraction property of equality** might proceed as a logical first step, especially if there's an addition involved.
Thus, the best answer is **C. Subtraction property of equality**.
