A. The balloon has a lift of 400 pounds. Write an inequality that could be used to determine how heavy the passengers of the balloon can be.
B. Use your inequality to calculate how much the passengers can weigh.
C. There is a second balloon, which has a different weight but the same amount of lift. With no passengers, the apparent weight of the balloon is -130 pounds. What is the weight of the balloon?
