Pls help w explanation!! A town with a population of 5,000 is being divided
into two voting districts: District X and District Y.
The populations of the two districts must differ by no
more than 500 people. Which of the following
systems represents all possible values for the
population x of District X and the population y of
District Y?
A) x-y ≤ 500 and x+y =5,000 B) x-y =500 and x+y ≤ 5,000 C) -500 ≤ x - y ≤ 500 and x+ y =5,000 D) -250 ≤ x - y ≤ 250 and x + y = 5,000

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.

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

A shows this so A is the answer.

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct
