Answer:
, or

Explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

The coefficient of 8x is 8. Let b=8.
Then we need to add (b/2)^2=16 to both sides to complete the square.
Add 16 to both sides
x^2+8x+16 = 7+16
x^2 + 8x+ 16= 23
Factor left side.
(x+4)^2 = 23
Take the square root.

Add -4 to both sides.
