Leeza can put 33 or less gallons of water in aquarium.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Capacity of aquarium = 55 gallons of water

Water already in aquarium = 22 gallons

Let,

x be the number of gallons that can be added in aquarium.

As aquarium can hold 55 gallons of water, therefore, we cannot add more than 55 gallons of water.

$x+22\leq 55$

Subtracting 22 from both sides

$x+22-22\leq 55-22\\x\leq 33$

Leeza can put 33 or less gallons of water in aquarium.
