I'm not sure I am fully understanding the question presented in the Challenge Question?

The question wants me to return a string value for the check_speed method, however, all I get is syntax errors, and I have gone back to watch the return method videos, but I am feeling a little lost at the moment. Any help, or guidance, is appreciated.

ruby.rb 
def check_speed(car_speed)
  puts "Checking #{car_speed}"
  car_speed =45

  if (car_speed == 40) && (car_speed is <= 50)
    return check_speed = "safe"
  else
    puts "driving too fast"  
end

    check_speed = "safe" 
  else 
    check_speed = "Driving too fast" 
  end 
end

I see some other had the same question as me, and I see now where I made my mistakes.
