Explanation

Step 1: Identify the pattern

The differences between consecutive terms are:

32 - 29 = 3

29 - 24 = 5

24 - 22 = 2

22 - 17 = 5

Step 2: Determine the pattern

The pattern seems to alternate between subtracting 3 or 2 and then 5:

-3, -5, -2, -5

Step 3: Apply the pattern

If the pattern continues, the next difference should be -3 (following the sequence -3, -5, -2, -5, -3):

17 - 3 = 14
