Answer:

The next two terms would be 37 and 50.

Explanation:

The pattern in this problem is every time, you are adding by two more. For example, in this problem you have 2,5,10.

2+3=5 and 5+5=10

The difference between 5 and 3 is 2 so you are adding by two more each time.

Hope this helps,

37 , 50

Explanation:

It is going up by adding every odd number.

2 to 5 = +3

5 to 10 = +5

10 to 17 = +7

17 to 26 = +9

26 to 37 = +11

37 to 50 = +13
