Given the pattern:

5,11,23,47,95

Then the sequence is given by:

$x\cdot2+1$

So:

For x = 1, the sequence is 5

For x = 5, the sequence is 11

For x = 11, the sequence is 23

For x = 23, the sequence is 47

For x = 47, the sequence is 95

For x = 95, the sequence is:

$95\cdot2+1=190+1=191$

Answer: 191
