a) Write a system of inequalities that represent this situation.
b) The club sells 440 tickets before the day of the show. Is it possible to sell enough additional tickets on the day of the show to at least meet the expenses of the show? Justify your answer.

a) Let x = number of presale tickets
y = number of day of show tickets
x + y =< 800
6x + 9y >= 5000
b) 6x + 9y >=5000
6(440) + 9y >=5000
y >= 262.2
263 tickets
440 advance purchase tickets added to 263 day of show tickets is 703 tickets, which is below the 800 ticket maximum. So yes, it is possible.

B. excitement at the possibility of association with the U.S. The excerpt describes an ideological belief in American exceptionalism and the mission of the United States to lead the world in civilization. This view of America's role in the world led to the acquisition of new territories such as the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Guam. In response to this ideology, some territories were excited at the possibility of being associated with the United States and welcoming its economic and social developments. However, there were also those who resisted American intervention and refused to accept any American influence or control.
