This is an alternating addition series, in which 10 is added, then 5, then 10, and so on.

Here, every other number follows a different pattern. In the first series, 6 is added to each number to arrive at the next. In the second series, 10 is added to each number to arrive at the next.

This is a subtraction series with repetition. Each number repeats itself and then decreases by 9.

This is an alternating repetition series, with a random number, 22, interpolated as every third number into an otherwise simple addition series. In the addition series, 4 is added to each number to arrive at the next number.

This is a simple alternating addition and subtraction series. First, 3 is added, then 1 is subtracted, then 3 is added, 1 subtracted, and so on.

This simple addition series adds 4 to each number to arrive at the next.

This is an alternating addition and subtraction series, in which the addition of 4 is alternated with the subtraction of 3.

This is an alternating subtraction series, which subtracts 5, then 2, then 5, and so on.

This is an alternating addition series, with a random number, 35, interpolated as every third number. The pattern of addition is to add 2, add 5, add 2, and so on. The number 35 comes after each "add 2" step/

Here, there are two alternating patterns, with every other number following a different pattern. The first pattern begins with 13 and adds 2 to each number to arrive at the next; the alternating pattern begins with 29 and subtracts 3 each time.
