36-6 =30.
34-6= 28.
30-6= 24.
28-6=22.
24-6=18.
34-6= 28.
30-6= 24.
28-6=22.
24-6=18.

36-34 = 2,
34-30 = 4,
30-28 = 2,
28-24 = 4,
24-2 = 22,
Hence 22 will be the next term.
34-30 = 4,
30-28 = 2,
28-24 = 4,
24-2 = 22,
Hence 22 will be the next term.

3*12 = 36
3*11 = 33+1 = 34.
3*10 = 30
3*9 = 27+1 = 28.
3*8 = 24
3*7 = 21+1 = 22.
3*11 = 33+1 = 34.
3*10 = 30
3*9 = 27+1 = 28.
3*8 = 24
3*7 = 21+1 = 22.

According to me, the solution is;
36 - 2= 34.
34 - 4 = 30.
30 - 2 = 28.
28 - 4 = 24.
24 - 2 = 22.
So, the answer is 22.
36 - 2= 34.
34 - 4 = 30.
30 - 2 = 28.
28 - 4 = 24.
24 - 2 = 22.
So, the answer is 22.

The series is 36,34,30,28,24...
Lets take difference of successive 36-34=2,34-30=4,30-28=2,28-24=4..
By observing the above differences that is clear that 4,2 are the successive differences that we are getting.
So the next difference is 2,4,2,4,2,4, next number 24-2=22.

36 - 2 = 34.
34 - 4 = 30.
30 - 2 = 28.
28 - 4 = 24.
24 - 2 = 22.
So, in this way you can get the answer.
34 - 4 = 30.
30 - 2 = 28.
28 - 4 = 24.
24 - 2 = 22.
So, in this way you can get the answer.

36-2 = 34.
34-4 = 30.
30-2 = 28.
28-4 = 26.
24-2 = 22.
The is the correct answer series.
34-4 = 30.
30-2 = 28.
28-4 = 26.
24-2 = 22.
The is the correct answer series.

We can do it other way also as follows:
36 - 30 = 6.
34 - 28 = 6.
30 - 24 = 6.
28 - 22 = 6.
So answer is 22.
36 - 30 = 6.
34 - 28 = 6.
30 - 24 = 6.
28 - 22 = 6.
So answer is 22.
