For this case we have to:

n: Represents the weight of Mary in Kg.

If your sister weighs 15 kg less we have:

y = n-15

Where "y" represents the weight of his sister in kg.

To find how many times Mary is heavier than her sister, we must divide Mary's weight by her sister's weight.

We have then:

N= \frac{n}{n-15}

Answer:

Mary is N= \frac{n}{n-15} times heavier than her sister.

<u>Answer</u>:

Mary weighs\frac{n}{(n-15)}heavier than her sister.

<u>Explanation: </u>

As we have given the data  in the question that  

Weight of marry = n kg

Weight of Marry sister = n-15 kg

Let Marry be ‘K' times heavier than her sister then it means that  

K=\frac{n}{(n-15)}

And we can write the above equation as

K(n-15) = n

K=\frac{n}{(n-15)}

which completely explains the above statement that Weight of the marry is K times the weight of her sister.

So the correct answer is  K=\frac{n}{(n-15)}

2x+y=32x+y=3

4 Subtract yy from both sides.

2x=3-y2x=3−y

5 Divide both sides by 22.

x=\frac{3-y}{2}x=

2.Add 2y2y to both sides.

x=-8+2yx=−8+2y

2 Regroup terms.

x=2y-8x=2y−8

Answer: If the corresponding angles of two triangles are not congruent, then the triangles are not congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the corresponding angles of two triangles are not congruent, then the triangles are not congruent.

A contrapositive statement is when you take the original statement, "flip" it around, and write the opposite of the original statement. Here's an example:

<u>Original statement:</u> The grass is wet because it was raining.

<u>Contrapositive statement:</u> It was not raining, so the grass is not wet.

Notice how we "flipped" the original sentence around, as wrote it's "opposite".
