Ans: 460

Using a Cubic Regression program I get
y = -0.4267x^3-54.38x^2+110.19x-60.2

General term solutions are not unique..  The other tutor
used a regression formula with a graphing calculator.  But
the most logical pattern is:

 Start with 5
  5×1+1 =   6
  6×2+2 =  14
 14×3+3 =  45
 45×4+4 = 184,  so
184×5+5 = 925
