Select the correct answer.
Two hot air balloons are flying above a park. One balloon started at a height of 3,000 feet above the ground and is decreasing in height at a rate of 40 feet per minute. The second balloon is rising at a rate of 50 feet per minute after beginning from a height of 1,200 feet above the ground.
Given that h is the height of the balloons after m minutes, determine which system of equations represents this situation.
A.
h = 3,000 + 40m
h = 1,200 - 50m
B.
m = 3,000 - 40h
m = 1,200 + 50h
C.
h = 3,000 - 40m
h = 1,200 + 50m
D.
h = 3,000m - 40
h = 1,200m + 50
