You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the next term in the sequence 1,36,2,30,3,24,4,18 is 5
there are really two sequences here,
1) first sequence begins with the first term and continues with every other term and is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
2) second sequence begins with second term and continues with every other term and
36, 30, 24, 18 each term is 6 less than the previous one
