Δ = 56
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{56}=\sqrt{4*14}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{14}=2\sqrt{14}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)-2\sqrt{14}}{2*1}=\frac{8-2\sqrt{14}}{2} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)+2\sqrt{14}}{2*1}=\frac{8+2\sqrt{14}}{2} $
