Answer:
26, 37
Step-by-step explanation:
1+1 = 2
2+3=5
5+5=10
10+7=17
17+9=26
26+11-37
Consecutive odd numbers get added to each term
3(9 - 8x - 4x) + 8(3x + 4) = 11
3(9 - 12x) + 8(3x + 4) = 11
27 - 36x + 24x + 32 = 11
59 - 12x = 11
-12x = 11 - 59
-12x = -48
x = 4
hope this helps, God bless!
Compatible numbers are easy to divide mentally.

One method to solve is to rewrite 9 as a power of 3 and then equate exponents to solve for x
3^x = 9^(x+2)
3^x = (3^2)^(x+2)
3^x = 3^(2(x+2))
x = 2(x+2) <<-- bases are equal, so exponents must be equal
x = 2x+4
x-2x = 4
-x = 4
x = -4
Answer: x = -4
