    This can be put into a formula like so:

    Since they are 6 consecutive even numbers, they will alternate odd/even/odd/even.

    x, x+2, x+4, x+6, x+8, x+10 = 126

    Simplify

    6x + 30 = 126

    6x = 96

    x = 16

    And you want the fourth number, so plug the x value back into the equation of 'x+6' and you will get 16+6 which = 22.
