1.) if I am understanding this correctly that is an easy one: just start with 2 and go up by 10

2, 12, 22, 32, 42...

2.) the pattern for this is adding 8 more to the previous add

15-3 = 12
35-15=20
63-35=28

see how its adding 8

so the 17th number would be: 1155 and the 37th number would be: 5607

Ok, these are pretty simple patterns. If you can use any pattern that includes the numbers 12 and 32, you could use the following:

2, 12, 32, 62, 102, 152, 212, 282
The pattern is: 2 (+10)= 12 (+20)= 32 (+30)= 62 (+40) etc

or you could use:

12, 32, 52, 72, 92, 112, 132
just keep increasing each number by 20. The pattern is:
12(+20)=32(+20)=52(+20)=72(+20)=92(+20)etc.

For 3, 15, 35, 63 the pattern is:

3(+12)= 15 (+20)= 35 (+28)= 63 (+36)= 99(+44) =143(+52) etc
keep increasing the number in the ( ) by 8. Sorry, I don't feel like doing it all the way to the 17 or 37 number.

A pattern using 16, 20, 25:

16(+4)=20(+5)=25(+6)=31(+7)=38(+8)=46(+9) etc

Hope this helps

It's a pattern, so I'm assuming they just want you to look at behavior between the numbers. Here, lemme give you an example. Let's use 12 and 32.

12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32...
(Very simply, I made a pattern. And all I did was continuously add 4. 12 + 4 = 16 + 4 = 20 + 4 = 24...and so on.)

And for 16, 20 and 25? Also simple.

16, 20, 25, 31, 38
(I made a pattern. I started with 16 and added 4 to get 20. Then 5 for 25. Then 6 for 31, 7 for 38... It's a pattern where the number added to the last number increases by one unit...)

I hope this helps!

1) rule: 4x
pattern : 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32
there are many other options for this, but 4x is probably the simplest
2) rule/pattern: (2x - 1)(2x +1)
17th: 1155 37th: 5475 you might want to check these.
3)rule: x + 7
pattern: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
again, there are many other options for this, but this is an easy one.
