To determine the next term in the sequence, let's analyze the differences between consecutive terms:

6 - 3 = 3
12 - 6 = 6
21 - 12 = 9
33 - 21 = 12

From the differences, we can observe that they are increasing by 3 each time. Therefore, we can infer that the differences between consecutive terms are following their own arithmetic sequence: 3, 6, 9, 12.

To find the next difference, we add 3 to the last difference:

12 + 3 = 15

Now, let's calculate the next term by adding this new difference to the last term in the sequence:

33 + 15 = 48

Therefore, the next term in the sequence is 48.
