I really don’t understand these two question plz help

1) I would remove the '-2' first by adding '2' to both sides. Technically, it does not matter the order you remove the '5' or '-2' though it would be more of a hassle if you were to remove the number associated w/ a variable as you would do extra steps when there is a possibility to do it in less steps. So, ideally, it does matter but depending on your perspective.

2) You would begin by turning '1' into a fraction that has the same denominator as the fraction it is to be added to. This would get you 7/7. Then, you add 7/7 to 4/7 in order to get your final answer of 11/7. You could also just put the two numerical values together as '1 4/7' but I am inferring they want it in an improper fraction format. The steps to get an improper fraction are ideal since it is the simplest way to get to the final answer.

If you have any more questions please comment them and I will be happy to answer them if I can ^^
