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

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{12544}=112$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-112}{2*8}=\frac{-112}{16}
=-7
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+112}{2*8}=\frac{112}{16}
=7
