#color(orange)83#

Explanation:

Equation:
#color(red)(2n+1, 2n+2, 2n+3,2n+4.......)#

# color(red)(2n+1)=2xx4+1=color(magenta)9#
# color(red)(2n+2)=2xx9+2=color(magenta)19#
# color(red)(2n+3)=2xx19+2=color(magenta)40#
# color(red)(2n+4)=2xx40+2=color(magenta)83#
# color(red)(2n+5)=2xx83+5=color(magenta)170#

#therefore# The missing number is #color(orange)83#
