a = 8; b = -3; c = -2;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -32-4·8·(-2)
Δ = 73
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-3)-\sqrt{73}}{2*8}=\frac{3-\sqrt{73}}{16}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-3)+\sqrt{73}}{2*8}=\frac{3+\sqrt{73}}{16}
