Add 1.

Multiply by 3 and stract 3.

Multiply by 2 and subtract 1.

Multiply by 2 and subtract 3.

C. Multiply by 2 and subtract 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 * 2 = 4. 4 - 1 = 3

3 * 2 = 6. 6 - 1 = 5

5 * 2 = 10. 10 - 1 = 9

9 * 2 = 18. 18 - 1 = 17

Multiply by 2 and subtract 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If we consider the sequence term by term

n = 2 → 2 (2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3 ← the second term

n = 3 → 3 (2) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5 ← the third term

n = 5 → 5 (2) - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9 ← the fourth term

n = 9 → 9 (2) - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17 ← the fifth term
