36 - 0 = 36
36 - 2 = 34
36 - 6 = 30
36 - 8 = 28
36 - 12 = 24
36 - 14 = 22.
36 - 2 = 34
36 - 6 = 30
36 - 8 = 28
36 - 12 = 24
36 - 14 = 22.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
