Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2/5kg fills one third, let's multiply 2/5kg by 3 to find out how much soil the conatainer can hold.

(2/5kg)(3) = 9/5kg = 1.8kg

1.8kg>1kg, so the answer is yes

3ax-n/5=-4 solve for x

jasenka [17]

$3ax-\frac{n}{5}=-4\ \ \ |Add\ \frac{n}{5}\ to\ both\ sides\\\\
3ax=-4+\frac{n}{5}\\\\
3ax=-\frac{20}{5}+\frac{n}{5}\\\\
3ax=\frac{-20+n}{5}\ \ \ |Divide\ by\ 3a\\\\
x=\frac{-20+n}{5}*\frac{1}{3a}\\\\
x=\frac{-20+n}{15a}\\\\Asnwer\ is\ x=\frac{-20+n}{15a}.$
