First we need to restate your original question:

So lets isolate the unknown, which you stated as "some number" let us call that "x." We use "x" due to common usage in math to refer to an unknown number. So, five times an unknown number is written as "5 times x" or 5x. Therefore:

5x + 6 = 104

First, subtract six from both sides. The reason you subtract first, is it is easier to move from simple procedures to complex procedures. Rule of thumb:

  • Addition and subtraction
  • Multiplication and division
  • Squares and roots
  • and so on...

Now you have 5x is equal to 98.

Now you need to divide both sides by five to isolate the variable 'x'

With this answer you get x = 19.6

So if you were to multiply 19.6 five times, then add six, your answer would be one hundred and four.
