To find the difference in rainfall between the months, we need to subtract the rainfall in June from the rainfall in July. Let "x" be the normal rainfall.
In June, the rainfall was 2.3 inches above normal, so it was x + 2.3 inches.
In July, the rainfall was 1.2 inches below normal, so it was x - 1.2 inches.
To find the difference, we subtract the rainfall in June from the rainfall in July: (x - 1.2 inches) - (x + 2.3 inches)
Simplifying the expression, we can remove the parentheses: x - 1.2 inches - x - 2.3 inches
Combining like terms, we get: -1.2 inches - 2.3 inches
Adding the values, we get: -3.5 inches
Therefore, the difference in rainfall between June and July was 3.5 inches.
