That's a simple, but awesome, tip, thank you!

Some of you said that the best way to learn Linux is to simply, use it. That's what Im doing for four days. Really nice experience.
I've learned many things through 'problems' that emerged and, while some of them were easy to solve, others are harder for me. Here's one:
In one HD I have 5 partitions, two of which I want to dedicate completely to Linux Mint. I installed Linux in partition 5. Partition 4 is completely empty and Im trying to merge it with Partition 5. Here's the problem. "Disks" in Linux Mint wont let me merge 4 with 5. Searching for solutions, I found this:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/509672/how-do-i-merge-two-ext4-partitions While not exactly my 'problem', it's really similar. Thing is, I have no idea how Im supposed to do what he said.
By the answers, I understood that I can't merge 4 > 5 if the system is installed in 5, I would only be able to merge if 4 was Linux Mint and 5 were empty. Then the upvoted answer is:
@Emanuel Rosa:
"Get the contents of sda8 and add them into sda7.
Delete sda8.
In the unallocated space where sda8 was, create a new Linux swap partition; The same size as the one you already have.
Delete the "old" Linux swap partition, sda6.
That should allow you to drag sda5 and sda7 to the left, freeing up space after sda7. Then you can extend sda7 to consume the remaining free space."
How? What did he meant by "Get the contents of" exactly?
