Answer:each time they add 2 to what they are adding so the next one is 42

Step-by-step explanation:

If confuse here

If 2 went to 6 then 6 went to 12

2 got add 4 the 6 got add 6 so that mean each time it gets 2 more so the 12 gets 8 and so on and so on!

To describe the pattern, maybe it would be helpful to find the difference between terms. We do as follows:

30 - 20 = 10
20 - 12 = 8
12 - 6 = 6
6 - 2 = 4

As we can see the pattern's difference is a factor of two. The differences are divisible by 2. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.
