4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Amount of Rainfall in October = 14 inches

Amount of Rainfall in October = 3 1/2 times more than Rainfall during September

How much rain fell.during September :

The problem is a division problem ;

Since the amount of Rainfall in October is greater, then obtaining the amount of Rainfall in September requires dividing The amount of Rainfall in October by the number of times it is more than the September rainfall;

If multiplication is applied, then tbe value obtained will be greater than 14 inches. Which makes no sense since, the Rainfall in October is much greater than that in September.

14 inches ÷ 3 1/2

14 ÷ 7/2

14 * 2 / 7

= 28 / 7

= 4 inches

Hence, the amount of Rainfall in September is 4 inches

g(x) is the negative form of f(x)? because whenever its the negative form it reflects its self over the x axis. idk if this is right though.
