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?

The minimum distance is 492 meters from the house (500 - 8 = 492), and the maximum distance is 508 meters from the house (500 + 8 = 508). The dog may be slightly closer to the house, depending on how long the dog is, or if Morgan is using a leash extender.

The minimum and maximum distances that Morgan’s dog may be from the house are 492 and 508 meters.

How to calculate the distance?

From the information given, Morgan is currently 500 meters from her house.

The minimum distance will be:

= 500 - 8 = 492

The maximum distance will be:

= 500 + 8

= 508
