A student spends no more than 2 hours on his math and english homework. If math takes about twice as long as english, what is the maximum time that the student can spend on english?

Your equations would be m+e≤2 and 2e=m
*M=math and E=english *Hour.Minutes
Assuming English takes 35 minutes tops:
2*35=70(70 minutes equals 1 hour and 10 minutes.)
1.10 + .35 = 1.45 ≤ 2
