    Choose x to represent the 1st number in the sequence.

    The 2nd is x+2.

    The 3rd is x+4

    The 4th is x+6, and

    The 5th is x+8

    The sum of these 5 numbers is 5x + 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 = 310

    Thus, 5x = 310 - (2+4+6+8) or 5x = 310 - 20. 5x = 290

    Then x comes out to be 58.

    the 2nd number is 58+2 = 60.

    The 3rd number is 60 + 2 = 62. This is the answer.
