Explanation

The pattern is -2, -2, -4, -2, -2, -4. 60-2=58, 58-2=56, 56-4=52, 52-2=50, 50-2=48, 48-4=44.

AI explanation

The series follows a pattern of subtracting 2, subtracting 2, and then subtracting 4 in a repeating cycle. The differences between the terms are 2, 2, 4, 2, 2, and the next subtraction must be 4. Subtracting 4 from 48 gives 44 as the next term.
