Answer:

26, 42, 68

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Fibonacci sequence, each number is equal to the sum of the two previous numbers. Denoting the sequence as a, we can say that

a₁=2

a₂=4

a₃=6

a₄=10

a₅=16

What we can see here is that each number a₃ or above is equal to the sum of its two previous numbers. For example, a₃ = a₁+a₂ = 2 +4 = 6

Therefore,

a₆ = a₄+a₅ = 10+16 = 26

a₇ = a₅+a₆ = 16 + 26 = 42

a₈ = a₆+a₇ = 26 + 42 = 68
