In pattern X, the terms are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, ...

In pattern Y, the terms are 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, ...

Comparing the corresponding terms:

In the 1st term, pattern X is 1 and pattern Y is 1.
In the 2nd term, pattern X is 3 and pattern Y is 4.
In the 3rd term, pattern X is 5 and pattern Y is 7.
In the 4th term, pattern X is 7 and pattern Y is 10.
In the 5th term, pattern X is 9 and pattern Y is 13.

From the comparison, we can see that the terms in pattern Y are always 1 more than the terms in pattern X. This is because pattern Y is adding 3 each time, while pattern X is only adding 2.
