The drama club is selling tickets to their play to raise money for the show's expenses. Each student ticket sells for $5 and each adult ticket sells for $9.50. The auditorium can hold a maximum of 130 people. The drama club must make at least $950 from ticket sales to cover the show's costs. If x represents the number of student tickets sold and y represents the number of adult tickets sold, write and solve a system of inequalities graphically and determine one possible solution.

Biology Each day, an average adult moose can process about 32 kilograms of terrestrial vegetation (twigs and leaves) and aquatic vegetation. From this food, it needs to obtain about 1.9 grams of sodium and 11,000 calories of energy. Aquatic vegetation has about 0.15 gram of sodium per kilogram and about 193 calories of energy per kilogram, whereas terrestrial vegetation has minimal sodium and about four times as much energy as aquatic vegetation. Write and graph a system of inequalities that describes the amounts t and a of terrestrial and aquatic vegetation, respectively, for the daily diet of an average adult moose.
