The given number sequence appears to follow a pattern where it alternates between increasing by 3 and decreasing by 2:
2 (start)
2 + 3 = 5
5 - 2 = 3
3 + 3 = 6
6 - 2 = 4
So, the pattern seems to be:
- Start with 2
- Add 3
- Subtract 2
- Repeat
Following this pattern, the next number would be 4 + 3 = 7.
