The terms of a particular sequence are determined according to the following rules: * If the value of a given term is an odd positive integer $s$, then the value of the following term is $3s - 9$ * If the value of a given term is an even positive integer $t$, then the value of the following term is $2t - 7$. Suppose that the terms of the sequence alternate between two positive integers $(a,b,a,b,\ldots)$. What is the sum of the two positive integers?
