If you just finished up linear progression, take your last 3x5 weight and remove 15 to 20 lbs. For example, if you squatted 275 for your last 3x5 session, start your 5x5 with 255 or 260.

Yeah, add maybe 20# to your 3x5 on Friday, see how that goes. Maybe 15# if your 3x5 wasn't very big.

There was a pretty long thread on this already.
my monday is currently 35lbs less than my friday 5rm. It has been at 30 and 25, but Ive done a few light mondays when I was short on time, to no ill effect of my friday 5rm.
