Answer: 34,33


Step-by-step explanation: Look at the first five terms. 3,6,5,10 and 9

3x2=6 6-1=5 5x2=10 10-1=9

Multiply by 2 then subtract by 1.

17x2=34 34-1=33

Answer:

It looks like it's going in a distinct pattern

Explanation:

3X2=6 5X2=10 9X2=18 17X2=34

But then the pattern stops so I'm not sure if that's right. But, I hope I at least helped in someway!~
