If we take a look at the numbers that we have here, we will try to notice a pattern so we can find the rule for it. Lets write down for each number:

From 8 to 6 is -2

From 6 to 9 is +3

From 9 to 7 is --2

From 7 to 10 is +3

So its very clear that the rule is: first you substract 2 and then you add 3. That means that the next two numbers would be:

10-2= 8

8+3= 11
