Answer:

32

Explanation:

We can either add all the terms.

2+6=8

2,8

8+6=14

2,8,14

14+6=20

2,8,14,20

20+6=6

2,8,14,20,26

26+6=32

2,8,14,20,26,32

The Sixth term is 32

or We can multiply 6 times 5 (30) and add 2, which would give us 32.

The reasoning behind this is that we are adding six five times (so six times five) and we are also adding the first term (2).
