The first term is 8, so 
Each time we want a new term, we add on 3
8+3 = 11
11+3 = 14
14+3 = 17
17+3 = 20
23+3 = 26
and so on
This recursive step of adding on 3 to the prior term is written as this: 
which says "to get the nth term, add 3 to the term just before the nth term"
Based on what you posted for your answer choices, the final answer is likely choice C. However it seems some weird typo happened.
Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities. Decide whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship, e.g., by testing for equivalent ratios in a table or graphing on a coordinate plane and observing whether the graph is a straight line through the origin.
Nearly 81 moons will be required to equate the mass of moon to the mass of earth.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mass of earth is 5.972*10^24 kg.
Mass of the moon is 7.36*10^25 g = 7.36*10^22 kg
As mass of the Earth is given as 5.972 * 10^24 kg and mass of the moon is given as 7.36 * 10^22 kg, then the number of moons required to make it equal to the mass of earth can be calculated by taking the ratio of mass of earth to moon.
Mass of Earth = Number of moons * Mass of Moon
Number of Moons = Mass of Earth/Mass of moon
Number of moons = 5.972 * 10^24/7.36*10^22= 81 moons.
So nearly 81 moons will be required to equate the mass of moon to the mass of earth.
