Remark

Each term and the next one is separated by 4.

14 - 10 = 4

6 - 1 = 4

The common difference is 4

d = 4

General equation for this series

t_n = a + (n - 1)*d

t_n =2 + (n-1) * 4

Next 2 terms

t5 = 2 + (5 - 1)*4   substitute 5 for n

t5 = 2 + 4*4         Calculate the answer

t5 = 18

t_6

t6 = 2 + (6 -1)*4

t6 = 2 + 5*4

t6 = 22

I hope you can figure out the last one. Just look up at t5
