if we were to solve both equations for "y", we'd get

notice, the 1st equation is really the 2nd in disguise, since both lines are just pancaked on top of each other, every point in the lines is a solution or an intersection, and since both go to infinity, well, there you have it.
All you have to do is change the whole number to a fraction. Say you have 4 divided by 1/2. All you have to do to make a whole number a fraction is put it over 1. So now you would have 4/1 (4 being the numerator) divided by 1/2. When you divide fractions always remember this; Keep, Switch, Flip. Keep 4/1, Flip the division sign to multiplication, and Flip 1/2 to make it 2/1. Then you multiply the numerators and the denominators. So 4/1 * 2/1 = 8/1. Hope this helped.

First, turn
into an improper fraction with a denominator of 4, which matches
.

Now, just add the numerators.

Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 2+5x=4x+7
5x-4x=7-2
x=5
2. 4x-5=1+3x
4x-3x=1+5
x=6
3. 8-5x-4=-6x+6
-5x+6x=6-8+4
x=2
4. 4x+8+2x=5x-1
6x-5x=-1-8
x= -9
