If these are the only numbers give, then:
2, 10, 26 = 2 (+8), 10 (+16), 26 (+32), 58 (+64), 122...
the amount being increased keeps doubling....the sequence would read:
2, 10, 26, 58, 122...
The missing number is 26. The number after 29 is 58.
30
If the third number were 27, there is a simple solution. But with 26 there is none that I can see.
651 is the next number.
It appears that 26 and 40 are missing
The missing number is 26. The number after 29 is 58.
26
The answer depends on where the missing number is meant to be. If 2, 4, 6, 10, 26, X: then X = 72 If 2, 4, 6, 10, X, 26: then X = 16.8 If 2, 4, 6, X, 10, 26: then X = 6.6 If 2, 4, X, 6, 10, 26: then X = 5.4 If 2, X, 4, 6, 10, 26: then X = 1.2 If X, 2, 4, 6, 10, 26: then X = 6
The Answer is 26
30, 20, 36, 23, 42, 26
26 Edit: a₁ = 8 , a₂= 8 + 2 = 10 , a₃& a₄up by 4, a₅ & a₆ up by 8 , .... by 16 a₄= 18 a₅ = 18 + 8 = 26 => answer
30

17. The numbers are being increased by odd numbers beginning with 3.
651 is the next number.
It appears that 26 and 40 are missing
10 x 26 = 260 To multiply an integer (whole number) by 10, simply add a zero to the end of the number.
