Explanation

The series follows a doubling difference pattern. The differences between consecutive terms are: 8-7=1, 10-8=2, 14-10=4, 22-14=8. Each difference doubles the previous one. Continuing this pattern, the next difference should be 16, so 22+16=38. Verification: 38+32=70, which matches the final term.
