Now consider the third, fourth and the fifth term.
Let, Third term = a = 20
It is evident that Fourth term= 2*a = 2 * 20 = 40 and,
The Fifth term = Second term - 8 OR ( 2*a - 8 ) = 40 - 8 = 32
Similarly consider fifth, sixth and the seventh(term to be found).
Let, Fifth term = a = 32
It is evident that Sixth term = 2*a = 2 * 32 = 64 and,
The Seventh term ( term to calculated) = Second term - 8 OR ( 2*a - 8 ) = 64 - 8 = 56
