Five + adjective + noun — what case is adj in?

I have a construction\n\n> ... пят(-ь/-и/-ю) [adjective] [noun]\n\nI want to know which case the adjective should be in when the noun/number are in nominative, accusative, or oblique cases.\n\nI know the rules for 2, 3, and 4 as listed out here:\n\n> While the noun in a nominative construction is in the genitive singular following два or две, an intervening adjective or adjectival participle will be in the genitive plural or nominative plural\n\n> If два is in nominative case, the adjective will be nominative plural when the noun is feminine\n\n> If два is in accusative case, the adjective will be nominative plural only if the noun is feminine inanimate\n\nbut what are the rules for 5, 13, 22, etc.?
