Here are the rules and missing numbers for each sequence:

  1. 2, 7, 12, 17, □\square, □\square, □\square, ...
  1. Find the difference between consecutive terms.

    $7 - 2 = 5$  
    $12 - 7 = 5$  
    $17 - 12 = 5$
    
  2. Determine the rule and missing numbers.

    $17 + 5 = 22$  
    $22 + 5 = 27$  
    $27 + 5 = 32$  
    The sequence is 2, 7, 12, 17, $\boxed{\text{22}}$, $\boxed{\text{27}}$, $\boxed{\text{32}}$, ...

  4. Determine the rule and missing numbers.

    The rule is to add 50 to the previous number.  
    $237 + 50 = 287$  
    $287 + 50 = 337$  
    $337 + 50 = 387$  
    The sequence is 87, 137, 187, 237, $\boxed{\text{287}}$, $\boxed{\text{337}}$, $\boxed{\text{387}}$, ...

    The rule is to subtract 13 from the previous number.  
    $59 - 13 = 46$  
    $46 - 13 = 33$  
    $33 - 13 = 20$  
    The sequence is 98, 85, 72, 59, $\boxed{\text{46}}$, $\boxed{\text{33}}$, $\boxed{\text{20}}$, ...
