Answer:

64

Explanation:

Here, we want to know the sum of the next two terms

We need to get the pattern first

The difference between the first two numbers is 49 (7^2)

next two is 36 (6^2)

next two is 25 (5^2)

next two is 16 (4^2)

next two will be 3^2 = 43-9 = 34

next will be 2^2 = 34-4 = 30

So the sum here is 30 + 34 = 64
