Can someone tell me what I did wrong here

Answer:
no roots.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) [tex]\sqrt{8x+16}=2-8; \ - \ correct;[/tex]
2) [tex]\sqrt{8x+16}=-6; \ - \ correct;[/tex]
note, the value after operation 'square root' cannot be negative ('-6' is on the right side!), then
3) it means, the given equation has no real roots.
