Can someone give me the pattern rule for the sequence: 2, 6, 4, 12, 10, 30, 28? What are the next three numbers?

The patter is multiply the prior number by 3, and subtract two from the following number. The next 3 numbers would be 84,82,246

Multiply the first digit by 3 then subtract the answer by 2. Rule: x 3 - 2

The sequence follows a pattern of alternating between multiplying by 3 and subtracting 2. The next three numbers in the sequence 2, 6, 4, 12, 10, 30, 28 are 84, 82, and 246. This alternation continues to define the series.
