int val = (Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument) - 5);

Remarks
When an ItemCommand event handler is defined, the Command control notifies the handler when an item event is generated through user interaction.
Unlike the Click event, the ItemCommand event is bubbled up to the parent controls. The ItemCommand event rendering is device-specific and is discussed in detail in the "Device-Specific Behavior" section of System.Web.UI.MobileControls.Command.
The OnItemCommand event is raised after an OnClick event. In a scenario where you repeat the same set of actions each time a command button is clicked, you can use either the CommandName or CommandArgument property of the Command control to identify which command button the user clicked.
