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

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{5184}=72$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-72}{2*16}=\frac{-72}{32}
=-2+1/4
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+72}{2*16}=\frac{72}{32}
=2+1/4
