Answer:


\boxed{\boxed{\sf~a_6=23}}

Solution Steps:

This is an arithmetic sequence since there is a common difference between each term. In this case, adding 5 to the previous term in the sequence gives the next term. In other words,
a_n=a_1+d(n-1).

Arithmetic Sequence:
d=5

Find the next term using the Arithmetic Sequence.

Arithmetic Sequence:
a_6=a_5+5


a_6=18+5=23
