答案:C
設 $a$ 及 $d$ 分別為該等差數列的首項及公差。由此,可得
設 $a$ 及 $d$ 分別為該等差數列的首項及公差。由此,可得
$\left\{ \begin{array}{ll}
a+2d =18 & \ldots \unicode{x2460} \\
a+5d =-6 & \ldots \unicode{x2461}
\end{array}\right.$
$\unicode{x2461} – \unicode{x2460}$,可得
$\begin{array}{rcl}
3d & = & -24 \\
d & = & -8
\end{array}$
所以,第 $2$ 項
$\begin{array}{cl}
= & a+d \\
= & (a+2d) – d \\
= & 18 – (-8) \\
= & 26
\end{array}$
