Can you SOLVE this VIRAL math riddle?

ANSWERS

Answer is 28

The next number in the sequence is 28. The sequence is generated by adding the natural numbers together, so the first number is 1, the second number is 1+2=3, the third number is 1+2+3 =5, and so on. Therefore the next number is 1+2+3+5+6+7=28
