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.

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.

The given series is 36, 34, 30, 28, 24 by subtracting with 2&4 we get next number to the 24.
36-2=34
34-4=30
30-2=28
28-4=24
24-2=22.
22 is the final number which is next to the 24 in the given above series.
Therefore, 22 is the next number.
36-2=34
34-4=30
30-2=28
28-4=24
24-2=22.
22 is the final number which is next to the 24 in the given above series.
Therefore, 22 is the next number.

36-34=2
34-30=4
30-28=2
28-24=4
24-22=2
Here 22 will next term.
34-30=4
30-28=2
28-24=4
24-22=2
Here 22 will next term.

36 - 6 = 30.
34 - 6 = 28.
30 - 6 = 24.
28 - 6 = 22.
So, the answer is 22.
34 - 6 = 28.
30 - 6 = 24.
28 - 6 = 22.
So, the answer is 22.

Add Subtracted to 6, 4 or 4 digit number but this simple logic.
36- 2 = 34.
34- 4 = 30.
30 -2 = 28.
24 -4 = 22.
The number should be 22 is correct answers.
36- 2 = 34.
34- 4 = 30.
30 -2 = 28.
24 -4 = 22.
The number should be 22 is correct answers.
