Hello :
<span>X - y = 4...(1)
x + y = 8...(2)
(1)+(2) :2x= 12
</span><span>The x-coordinate of the solution to the system shown is __6___.</span>
Anything to a negative power becomes the inverse with the coefficient to a positive power.
For example, 3^-1 becomes 1/3^1 or just 1/3.
3^-2 would be 1/3^2 or 1/9.
It's the letter D hope it helps
