What are the next two terms in the pattern 3,6,5,10,9,18,

the problem is a pattern that multiplies by two and subtracts one each time.

3x2=6 6-1=5 5x2=10 10-2=9 9x2=18 18-1=17 17x2=34 34-1=33

probability for j is 1/4

while

a is 1/6

-362

step-by-step explanation:

(12)(4)+2(12)-34(12)+2(12)-3

  \/         \/         \/         \/

  48 +   24 -   408 + 24 - 3

      \   /               \   /

          72     -     432 - 3 = -363
