Answer:

A is the Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the population is being split up into 2 divisions out of 5,000.

This means District X and Y must add up 5000.

[tex]x + y = 5000[/tex]

District X and Y must differ no more than 500 people.

So this means that X and Y total people difference cannot be over 500 people. So the equation for this is

[tex]x - y \leqslant 500[/tex]

A shows this so A is the answer.
