4 qts= 1 gal 8 pts= 1 gal 1 qt= 2 pts

meaning that the 10 qts used to paint the kitchen was 2 gals and 2 qts.
then you have to add the 3 gals used in the living room, which is 5 gals and 2 qts. the easiest way to subtract the total from the amount used would be to convert all measurements to pints. so your 9 gals would turn into 72 pts minus your 5 gals and 2 qts, being 44 pts. therefore your answer would be 28 pts of paint left.
