Since the first term of the sequence is 5, which is greater than 3, each successive term is greater than the term before it.Thus the correct answer consists of Choices A, C, and F.This exp
18、lanation uses the following strategies.Strategy 1: Translate from Words to an Arithmetic or Algebraic Representation Strategy 7: Find a Pattern 21 【正确答案】 22 【试题解析】 You are given that if 3 people currently ahead of Shandra leave the line and no one else leaves, there will be 8 people ahead of Shandra
19、. This means that currently there are 11 people ahead of Shandra. In addition to the 11 people currently ahead of Shandra in line, Shandra herself is in line, and there are currently 10 people behind Shandra. Therefore the total number of people in line currently is 11 + 1+10, or 22. The correct ans
