Given:

The minimum and maximum distance that the dog may be from the house can be found by using the equation:

|x-500|=8

To find:

The minimum and maximum distance that the dog may be from the house.

Solution:

We have,

|x-500|=8

It can be written as:

$x-500=\pm 8$

Adding 500 on both sides, we get

$x=500\pm 8$

Now,

x=500+8 and
x=500-8

x=508 and
x=492

The minimum distance is 492 meters and the maximum distance is 508 meters.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
