To determine the next two numbers in the pattern, we can try to identify any patterns or rules that govern the given sequence. Let's examine the differences between each consecutive pair of numbers:

86 - 72 = 14
75 - 86 = -11
89 - 75 = 14
80 - 89 = -9

Looking at the differences, we can observe that there is a repeating pattern of 14 and -11. Now, let's extend this pattern to find the next two numbers:

The next difference is obtained by subtracting 14 from 80:
80 - 14 = 66

The difference after that will be -11 subtracted from 66:
66 - (-11) = 66 + 11 = 77

Therefore, the next two numbers in the pattern are 66 and 77.

To find the next two numbers in this pattern, let's look at the differences between the consecutive numbers.

The differences between the numbers are as follows:
86 - 72 = 14
75 - 86 = -11
89 - 75 = 14
80 - 89 = -9

We can observe that the differences alternate between +14 and -11.

Now, to find the next two numbers, we need to add the next difference to the previous number in the sequence.

To get the next number:
80 + (-9) = 71

To get the number after that:
71 + 14 = 85

Therefore, the next two numbers in the pattern are 71 and 85.
