Explanation

The series consists of two alternating sequences: 2, 7, 12, ... (adding 5) and 65, 59, 53, ... (subtracting 6). The next terms are 12+5=17 and 53-6=47.

AI explanation

The series follows two interwoven patterns alternating between terms. The first pattern starts at 2 and adds 5 each time, giving 2, 7, 12, and the next term 17. The second pattern starts at 65 and subtracts 6 each time, giving 65, 59, 53, and the next term 47. The missing numbers are 17 and 47.
