Answer: 14 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the total gallons of gas Abdul's tank can hold <em>x</em>.

Then, based on the information given in the problem, you can write the following expression:

\frac{1}{5}x+7=\frac{7}{10}x

Therefore, when you solve for x, you obtain the following result:

\frac{1}{5}x+7=\frac{7}{10}x\\\\\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{7}{10}x=-7\\\\-\frac{1}{2}x=-7\\\\-x=(-7)(2)\\x=14
