You can put this solution on YOUR website!
6,10,14,18,22,...

this is a 4 times table. It isn't THE 4 times table (4,8,12,16,...) but it is that one shifted by a fixed amount.

How do we know that 6,10,14,18,22 is A 4 times table? Because each number is 4 more than the last one.

Any 4 times table is written as 4xn --> 4n where n is just the counter 1, 2,3,4 etc.

Our sequence is 4n shifted by adding a further 2 every time... so we have 4n+2.
