there should only be one, unless i'm missing something.\

start with 8x^2 = 0

divide both sides of the equation by 8 to get x^2 = 0.

take the square root of both sides of the equation to get x = plus or minus square root of 0.

since square root of 0 is equal to 0, you get x = pus or minus 0.

but plus 0 is the same number as minus 0, so your solution is x = 0.
