Add ONLY ONE (does not have to be straight) line to make the equation below true

EQUATION :

$5$ $+$ $5$ $+$ $5$ $=$ $555$

If you think this is not possible, then please give your reason!

Note :

• Crossing the equal sign is not allowed




• This is not a duplicate of $5$ $+$ $5$ $+$ $5$ $=$ $550$

I guess this is more probable to add a clarification in the riddle's body rather than be accepted as an answer ^^

5 + 5 + 5 ≤ 550

This is already true in javascript, if the value 5 is typecasted to string before the equation.
var a = '5'; var result = a + a + a; // produces 555

My try!

Working modulo $5$, $$5+5+5equiv555$$ Actually, this works modulo $k$ whenever $kmid 540$.
