One fish tank is half full. After adding 10 gallons the tank is 7/8 of the tank. Calculate the capacity of the fish tank.

• If x is capacity of full tank, then
  x*(7/8-1/2) =10
  x*3/8=10
  x= 80/3 gallons

• if we assume the capacity of the tank as x
  
  (1/2)(x) + 10 = (7/8)(x)
  
  10 = (7/8)(x)-(1/2)(x)
  10 = (3/8)(x)
  
  Hence the capacity of the tank x = (80/3) gallons.

• Let capacity of the fish tank is x gallons. Then
  (7/8-1/2)*x = 10
  => (3/8)*x = 10
  => x = 10*8/3 = 80/3 gallons
  Thus capacity of the fish tank is 80/3 gallons.

• ans is 26*(4/6) gallons.
  X/2+10=(7/8)X
