Answer:

The 2nd number in the sequence is
2\left((100)/(12)\right)+2

Explanation:

Let the six even numbers be 2x,2x+2,2x+4,2x+6,2x+8,2x+10

We are given that The sum of 6 even integers is 130.

So,2x+2x+2+2x+4+2x+6+2x+8+2x+10=130

12x+30=130

12x=100


x=(100)/(12)

So,the 2nd number in the sequence is
2\left((100)/(12)\right)+2
