+5

We have 2 + 2 = 5 which is false and 2 + 6 =7  which is also false

And we have the conditional that

F →  F    ...and this is  ( believe it, or not ) ..... true  !!!

The simplistic reasoning for this is that if we're willing to accept an original false statement in a one-way conditional, then we're willing to accept anything that follows..!!!
