The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$u_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$u_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{9216}=96$
$u_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-96}{2*8}=\frac{-96}{16}
=-6
$
$u_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+96}{2*8}=\frac{96}{16}
=6
