'2=5' implies 2 and 5 are equal to each other!

5=8.
You can just increment both sides of the equation to get the next term.

These equivalences are all true in mod 3, so 5=3n+2 where n is any nonnegative integer.

5=7 -the sum of both numbers starting at 1=4 is incrementing through the odd numbers for example 1=4 -> 5. so we have 5, 7, 9, 11, ?
