What is the fourth number in the pattern?

Answer 2

20

Explanation:

when you subtract 2 from 6 you get 4. so you multiply 4 into 2 which give the answer 8. when you subtract 2 from 8 you get 6 and then you multiply 6 to 2 which gives the answer 12... next you subtract 2 from 12 which gives the answer 10. so you multiply 10 to 2 Which gives the final answer for you which is 20.
