what do you think?
IT was intended to get you to do some thinking. Clearly, I am not the first to fail to do that.
for example,
1st even number- x = 2
2nd even number- 2 + 2 = 4
3rd even number- 2 + 4 = 6
does this help?

Can u (C) it?
Start w/ (x) next is (x +2) next is (x + 4)
Start w/ (x) next is (x +2) next is (x + 4)
Thank you K I finally get it.
