Rain gauge X was out of operation for a month during which there was a storm. The rainfall amounts at three (3) adjacent stations, A, B, and C were 4.2, 3.7, and 4.9 in., respectively. The average annual precipitation amounts for the gauges are X = 36.5 in, A = 42.1 in, B = 37.1 in., and C = 39.8 in. If plotted in an x-y plane (unit of miles) with gauge X in the origin, the coordinates of other stations are as follows: A: (3,7); B: (4,6); and C: (5,9). Estimate the missing rainfall data of Gauge X.
