15
12
I know the top one is 15 because is goes 3 then 2 down then add 3 to the previous number(3) so that's 6 then 2 down etc.

for the second one i don't think its 12 i think its 9 because it goes up from 3 to 12 then starts counting down then when it gets to 3 it counts up again so the next one after 6 would be 9 :)
