Continue each pattern with the next two numbers 1. 17, 14, 8, 16, 10, 20, 14, _, _.
2. 11, 13, 16, 20, 25, 31, 38, _, _

Pattern #1:  (I think it should have started with 7, not 17)

7 -> 14     either added 7 or multiplied by 2

14 -> 8     subracted 6

8 -> 16     either added 8 or multplied by 2

16 -> 10    subtracted 6

10 -> 20   added 10 or multiplied by 2.

The pattern seems to be multiply by 2, then subtract 6, repeat.

14 -> 28

28 -> 22

Pattern #2:

11 -> 13     added 2

13 -> 16    added 3

16 -> 20   added 4

20 -> 25  added 5

25 -> 31   added 6

31 -> 38   added 7

to finish...

38 + 8 = 46

46 + 9 = 55
