Answer: 42
Explanation:
Call the first number in the sequence xx.
Hint #22 / 8
The next even number in the sequence is x + 2x+2
Hint #33 / 8
The sum of the 66 consecutive even numbers is:
x+ (x + 2)+ (x + 4)+ (x + 6)+ (x + 8)+ (x + 10) = 270x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)+(x+8)+(x+10)=270
Hint #44 / 8
6x + 30= 2706x+30=270
Hint #55 / 8
6x = 2406x=240
Hint #66 / 8
x = 40x=40
Hint #77 / 8
Since xx is the first number, x + 2x+2 is the second even number.
Hint #88 / 8
Thus, the second number in the sequence is 4242.
