Δ = 16
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{16}=4$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)-4}{2*3}=\frac{-12}{6}
=-2
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)+4}{2*3}=\frac{-4}{6}
=-2/3
