Mr Kitty · Answer 1

The pattern you have here is: (n x 2 + 1)

For example, 2 x 2 + 1 = 5 and 5 x 2 + 1 = 11

So the next three numbers can be deduced as follows:

47 x 2 + 1 = 95

95 x 2 + 1 = 191

191 x 2 + 1 = 383

so the next three numbers would be 95, 191, 383

Heidi · Answer 2

The pattern is that for the next number you add twice the amount you added previously. So the next three numbers are 95, 190, and 382.
