Hello!

$===========================================$

Let's create an expression that always results in 6 more than a multiple of 5.

First, let the unknown number be x.

Then, we should multiply it times 5 and add 6 (6 more means we add 6)

So the expression is

5x+6

Will this work? We can easily check by plugging in some numbers:

5(2)+6

10+6

10 is a multiple of 5
