Answer:

55-4x=22

Explanation:

We want to know how long it'll take until 22 mints are left, so we already have the "=22" part.

Customers are taking 4 mints per hour, so the number is subtracting. So now we have "-4=22".

The 4 is being taken from the 55 mints per hour, so 4 is multiplied by "x", so now the equation is "-4x=22".

The final equation would be

55-4x=22.

hope it helps! :3
