George has $15. He tries to buy a movie ticket ($9.00), a pretzel ($2.65), a drink ($1.35), and two veggie cups ($1.74 each) but he does not have enough money. Look at the numerical expression George used: 15 − 9 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 2(1.74)

Can you help him determine why he does not have enough money?

He doesn't have enough money because the total of things he wants to buy is more than the money he has.

Step-by-step explanation:

9 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 2(1.74) must be less than or equal to 15. However all of this added together equals $16.48. This means that he doesn't have enough money.

The total price of the items he wants to buy is $1.48 over the amount of money he has.

Step-by-step explanation:

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.
