The pattern alternates between subtracting 3 and adding 1: 17-3=14, 14+1=15, 15-3=12, 12+1=13, 13-3=10, 10+1=11.

AI explanation

This series alternates by subtracting 3 and then adding 1 to each preceding number. Subtracting 3 from 17 gives 14, adding 1 gives 15, and subtracting 3 from 13 gives 10. Adding 1 to 10 gives the next term of 11.
