Answer:

17

Explanation:

the sequence is plus 3 minus 2. I forgot the actual formula for these kinds of questions but i vaguely remember

an = d (n - 1) + c

I was never able to remember how to use the formula but the sequence would be

5,8,6,9,7,10,8,11,9,12,10,13,11,14,12,15,13,16,14,17,15,18,16,19

if you'll notice, every other number is just one more than the last number...

so the 20th term is 17
