Current amount of gas: [tex]\frac{1}{10} t[/tex]                    

After adding 11 gallons: [tex]\frac{1}{10} t[/tex]   + 11  = [tex]\frac{3}{5} t[/tex]  

11 = [tex]\frac{3}{5} t[/tex]   - [tex]\frac{1}{10} t[/tex]

11 = [tex]\frac{6}{10} t[/tex]   - [tex]\frac{1}{10} t[/tex]

11 = [tex]\frac{5}{10} t[/tex]

11 = [tex]\frac{1}{2} t[/tex]

22 = t

Answer:  22 gallons
