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:
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.

It seems there's a number missing. 35/5 = 7 Add 7 to whatever 4 is multiplied by.
Seven plus five equals 12.
No. 3x plus 2x = 5x. 3x multiplied by 2x = 6x²
It is not because the first number ends in 5 and any number ending in five multiplied by another number is composite. Also, the second number ends in two, and any number ending in two multiplied by another number is composite. So, in conclusion, the number is not prime.
Negative five.
