The capacity of the tank in gallons is 24 gallons.
An equation is a mathematical statement formed when two algebraic expressions are equated by an equal sign.
It is given in the question that
When four gallons are added to a tank that is one-third full
the tank is then one-half full.
Let the capacity of the tank is x gallons
The equation can be formed for the capacity of the tank as
(1/3)x +4 = (1/2)x
(1/3)x -(1/2)x = -4
(1/6)x = 4
x = 24 gallons.
Therefore the capacity of the tank in gallons is 24 gallons.
