Brandon brought a 5 gallon of paint to paint his house. after he finished painting he had two quarts of paint left over. how many quarts of paint did Brandon use?

A 5-gallon container of paint is equivalent to 20 quarts (since 1 gallon equals 4 quarts). If Brandon had 2 quarts left over after painting, he used 20 - 2 = 18 quarts of paint.
