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?

Respuesta :

Answer:

492 - 508

Step-by-step explanation:

the dog can be 8 m  ahead of megan  = 492 m from home

the dog can be 8 m  behind Megan = 508 m from home

x-500 = 8

x = 508 m

   or   - (x-500) = 8

             -x + 500 = 8

              -x = - 492

               x = 492  m
