Question

Morgan is walking her dog on an 8-meter-long leash. She is currently 500 meters from her house, so the maximum and minimum distances that the dog may be from the house can be found using the equation |x – 500| = 8. What are the minimum and maximum distances that Morgan’s dog may be from the house? 496 meters and 500 meters 500 meters and 508 meters 492 meters and 508 meters 496 meters and 504 meters

Answer 1

Answer:

Letter C is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer we have to consider the following:

The length of the leash is 8 meters.

The distance to the house is 500 meters.

To find the maximum distance we must add 500+8=508.

To find the minimum we must subtract 500-8=492.

Due to this results, the correct answer is letter C.

Answer 2

if you are supposed to divide, 500/8= 62.5
