Help I don't know where to start. I don't think I understand if I'm in mod 10 it will never be $7$ away from $10$ only ever $5$.

But $7 +7=2*7 equiv 4 pmod {10}$ so $7|4$. That's $4$ away; not $7$. And $7+ 7 + 7 = 3*7 equiv 1 pmod{10}$ and that's $1$ away; not $7$.

If $7|5$, then there is some number $x$ such that $7xequiv 5pmod{10}$. Absent any intuition or insight, one can just try plugging in $x=0,1,2,ldots,9$. For each, simplify $7x$, modulo $10$, and see if you get $5$.
A similar strategy will solve the second problem.
