Answer: I don't know what you meant by remainder but i hope this helps :)

$x=\frac{-3+\sqrt{29}}{4},\:x=-\frac{3+\sqrt{29}}{4}\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left(4x^2+7x-1\right)=\left(4+x\right)\\\mathrm{Refine}\\4x^2+7x-1=4+x\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\4x^2+7x-1-x=4+x-x\\Simplify\\4x^2+6x-1=4\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}4\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\4x^2+6x-1-4=4-4\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\4x^2+6x-5=0\\\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=4,\:b=6,\:c=-5:\\\quad x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-6\pm \sqrt{6^2-4\times \:4\left(-5\right)}}{2\times \:4}$

$\frac{-6+\sqrt{6^2-4\times \:4\left(-5\right)}}{2\times \:4}\\=\frac{-6+\sqrt{6^2+4\times \:4\times \:5}}{2\times \:4}\\=\frac{-6+\sqrt{116}}{2\times \:4}\\=\frac{-6+\sqrt{116}}{8}\\\\Let\: simplify\: ; -6+2\sqrt{29}\\=-2\times \:3+2\sqrt{29}\\=2\left(-3+\sqrt{29}\right)\\=\frac{2\left(-3+\sqrt{29}\right)}{8}\\=\frac{-3+\sqrt{29}}{4}\\$

$\frac{-6-\sqrt{6^2-4\times \:4\left(-5\right)}}{2\times \:4}\\\\=\frac{-6-\sqrt{6^2+4\times \:4\times \:5}}{2\times \:4}\\\\=\frac{-6-\sqrt{116}}{2\times \:4}\\\\=\frac{-6-2\sqrt{29}}{8}\\\\=-\frac{2\left(3+\sqrt{29}\right)}{8}\\\\=-\frac{3+\sqrt{29}}{4}\\\\\\x=\frac{-3+\sqrt{29}}{4},\:x=-\frac{3+\sqrt{29}}{4}$
