$$\frac{8}{x^{2} - 8} = 1$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\frac{8}{x^{2} - 8} = 1$$
Multiply the equation sides by the denominators:
-8 + x^2
we get:
$$\frac{8 \left(x^{2} - 8\right)}{x^{2} - 8} = x^{2} - 8$$
$$8 = x^{2} - 8$$
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$8 = x^{2} - 8$$
to
$$16 - x^{2} = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = -1$$
$$b = 0$$
$$c = 16$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(0)^2 - 4 * (-1) * (16) = 64

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = -4$$
$$x_{2} = 4$$
