The next number is the sequence is 10.
To find the second number, 1 was subtracted from the first number
To find the third number, 2 was subtracted from the second number
To find the fourth number, 3 was subtracted from the third number
Therefore to find the fifth number, 4 must be subtracted from the fourth number.
14 - 4 = 10
18
17?
The next number in the sequence is 27.
Think it's 30...then 20

The next number is 17 because each number is increasing by increments of 3
24
17?
The next number in the sequence is 27.
Think it's 30...then 20
The series is a sequence of three numbers, the second number is 3 greater than the first, and the third number is 5 greater than the second. (or 8 greater than the first) 20 + 3 = 23 : 23 + 5 = 28 14 + 3 = 17 : 17 + 5 = 22 11 + 3 = 14........is therefore the next number in the sequence.
The pattern appears to be: subtract 6, add 17, subtract 14, add 9, subtract 7. Following this pattern, the next number should be obtained by adding 3 to the last number in the sequence, which is 6. Therefore, the next number in the sequence is 9.
