Explanation
Step 1: Identify the pattern The differences between consecutive terms are: 32 - 29 = 3 29 - 24 = 5 24 - 22 = 2 22 - 17 = 5 Step 2: Determine the pattern The pattern seems to alternate between subtracting 3 or 2 and then 5: -3, -5, -2, -5 Step 3: Apply the pattern If the pattern continues, the next difference should be -3 (following the sequence -3, -5, -2, -5, -3): 17 - 3 = 14
