=====================================
Let x be the speed limit. It is simply a placeholder. Think of it as a box with the number inside. We don't know what the number is, but we know that the largest it can be is 55. It cannot be larger than 55.
So x can be equal to 55 or it can be smaller
Put another way, x is less than or equal to 55 which is written as (on the keyboard you would type " x <= 55 " without quotes).
---------------------------------------
Note: since negative speeds make no sense, we also must imply that x can't be negative. Your teacher may want you to write this in to clearly state it. If so, then you would also have
which when combined with the first inequality, you get this compound inequality 
(basically saying "x is some speed between 0 and 55 mph"). This very clearly states the boundaries on what x can be. Though your teacher may want you to stick to the first format as its simpler.
