- Observe the sequence: 146, 90, 56, 34, 22, ?

- Look at the differences between consecutive numbers:

- 146 - 90 = 56

- 90 - 56 = 34

- 56 - 34 = 22

- 34 - 22 = 12

- Differences: 56, 34, 22, 12

- This shows the differences are decreasing.

- The pattern suggests a decrease by 22, 12, 8, resulting in consistent subtraction by 10, 12, 14, 16.

- The next logical step tells us that subtracting 10 from 22 equals 12.

- Hence, the missing number is 12.
