Total paint = 8 gallons

Used up amount = 1/4th gallon

The amount left, is the difference between the two.

That would be 1/4th subtracted from 8.

Or,

$8-\frac{1}{4}$

Taking common denominator, we solve:

$\begin{gathered} 8-\frac{1}{4} \\ =\frac{8(4)-1}{4} \\ =\frac{32-1}{4} \\ =\frac{31}{4} \\ =7\frac{3}{4}\text{ gallons} \end{gathered}$

Heyy can you please help me posted picture of question

We can use quadratic formula to determine the roots of the given quadratic equation.

The quadratic formula is:

$x= \frac{-b+- \sqrt{ b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}$

b = coefficient of x term = 4
a = coefficient of squared term = 1
c = constant term = 7

Using the values, we get:

$x= \frac{-4+- \sqrt{16-4(1)(7)} }{2(1)} \\ \\ 
x= \frac{-4+- \sqrt{-12} }{2} \\ \\ 
x= \frac{-4+-2 \sqrt{-3} }{2} \\ \\ 
x= -2+- \sqrt{-3}$

So, the correct answer to this question is option A
