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

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1024}=32$
$t_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-64)-32}{2*16}=\frac{32}{32}
=1
$
$t_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-64)+32}{2*16}=\frac{96}{32}
=3
