Answer:

-2

Explanation:

This is a geometric sequence. We need to find the common ratio

Take the second term and divide by the first

-18/54 = -1/3

Take the third term and divide by the second

-18/6 = -1/3

The common ratio is -1/3

The next term is the third term times the common ratio

6 * -1/3 = -2

The fourth term is -2
