Answer:

September = 2.8 inches

August = 3.4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A = augusts rain fall

S = septembers rainfall

A+S = 6.2 inches

A = S + .6

substitute A=S +.6 into the first equation

A+S = 6.2

(S+.6) + S = 6.2

combine like terms

2s+.6 = 6.2

subtract .6 from each side

2S = 6.2 -.6

2S = 5.6

divide by 2

S = 2.8

Let's find A

A = S +.6

A = 2.8+ .6

A = 3.4
