Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Just find out the pattern.  It is decreasing, so let's find out how much it is decreasing by.

31-29= -2

29-24= -5

24-22= -2

22-17= -5

The pattern is -2, -5, -2, -5... So the next one should be -2 again!  17-2=15.

Remember, a pattern doesn't always have to be subtracting, adding, dividing, or multiplying at a constant number!  It can switch between two, like this problem!
