the speed limit on the highway is 60 miles per hour. Mr.Erikson is driving at 53 miles per hour. Write and solve an inequality to find how much faster Mr. Erikson can drive while still obeying the speed limit​

53 + x \leq 60

53 is what he's driving at, x is how much faster he can go, 60 is the speed limit.

If we solve it, we can see that Mr.Erikson can go 7 miles per hour faster.
