There is a pattern to the terms in the given order: minus two, minus six, minus two, minus six, minus, and so on. So 
382=36 
366=30 
302=28 
286=22 
222=20

The number 20 comes after 38, 36, 30, 28, and 22 in the sequence. Since there are no inherent differences among the numbers, this is discovered by looking for patterns in the supplied series of numbers. The first number in the sequence is 38, and each number after that differs by two or six. Instead of advancing, the series is falling. The number preceding 22 is 28, and the final number is 22. There are six differences between them. As a result, the following number should be different by two.
The following number in the given sequence of numbers is given by the equation 22-2 = 20.

Write alternate numbers, we get two different series,

38, 30, 22, 

Common diference =3038=2230=8

 36, 28, 

common difference =2836=8

Next number in this series =288=20

Answer: 20
Explanation:
To solve the series and find the next number, we can observe the pattern in the given sequence:
The given series is: 38,36,30,28,22
We can see that each number in the series is decreasing by 2 and 6 alternately.
So, the pattern can be represented as follows:
First number: 38
Subtract 2: 36
Subtract 6: 30
Subtract 2: 28
Subtract 6: 22
Continuing with the pattern, the next number can be obtained by subtracting 2 from the previous number:
Subtract 2: 222=20
Therefore, the next number in the series is 20.
