Given,
Tatesville has X inches of rainfall in April, (X + 1.3) inches of rainfall in May, and (2X + 0.5) inches in June.
The total rainfall during these months will be the sum of these expressions.
The total amount of rainfall:
= X + (X + 1.3) + (2X + 0.5) inches
= X + X + 1.3 + 2X + 0.5 inches
= 4X + 1.8 inches
Given,
Rainfall in May is 2.5 inches.
Rainfall in May:
(X + 1.3)= 2.5 inches
X + 1.3= 2.5
X= 2.5 - 1.3
X= 1.2 inches
On substituting the values of X= 1.2 inches in the expression for total rainfall.
Total rainfall:
= 4X + 1.8
= 4 (1.2) + 1.8
= 4.8 + 1.8
= 6.6 inches
So, the total rainfall over the three months is 6.6 inches.
