Pattern: add 5

Next term: 21

Rule: 5(n-1)+1 where n is the term number

Just to prove that it's correct check all the numbers provided:

so for 1:

5(1-1)+1 = 5(0) + 1 = 1

for 2:

5(2-1)+1 = 5(1) + 1 = 6

For 3:

5(3-1) + 1 = 5(2) + 1 = 11

For 4:

5(4-1) + 1 = 5(3) + 1 = 16

20th term: 5(n-1) + 1

5(20-1) + 1

5(19) + 1 = 95+1 = 96

so the 20th term is 96
