1. **State the problem:**
The drama club sells student tickets at $6.50 each and adult tickets at $9 each.
They sold 63 adult tickets and want to find the possible number of student tickets sold to meet at least $920 in total revenue.
The auditorium capacity is 120 people.
2. **Define variables:**
Let $x$ be the number of student tickets sold.
3. **Write inequalities based on the problem:**
- Total people cannot exceed 120:
$$x + 63 \leq 120$$
- Total revenue must be at least 920:
$$6.5x + 9 \times 63 \geq 920$$
4. **Solve the first inequality for $x$:**
$$x + 63 \leq 120$$
$$x \leq 120 - 63$$
$$x \leq 57$$
5. **Calculate revenue from adult tickets:**
$$9 \times 63 = 567$$
6. **Solve the revenue inequality for $x$:**
$$6.5x + 567 \geq 920$$
$$6.5x \geq 920 - 567$$
$$6.5x \geq 353$$
$$x \geq \frac{353}{6.5}$$
$$x \geq 54.3077...$$
7. **Combine both inequalities for $x$:**
$$54.3077... \leq x \leq 57$$
8. **Interpretation:**
Since $x$ must be a whole number (tickets sold), the drama club must sell at least 55 and at most 57 student tickets to meet the expenses and not exceed auditorium capacity.
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{55 \leq x \leq 57}$$
