All we need to do is to divide August and September rainfall measurements into two equal halves and then substract 0.6 from one of them and add 0.6 to the other one.
6.2 ÷ 2 = 3.1
3.1 - 0.6 = 2.5
3.1 + 0.6 = 3.7
It's said that in August there was 0.6 inch more rainfall, so the bigger value (3.7 inches) is for August and the smaller value (2.5 inches) is for September.
X = -44
y = -30
Solve for y in equation 1.
Plug in the new value for y into equation 2 to solve for x.
Next, plug your x value into either equation to find y. You can choose either, but I picked the 1st equation.
