I get $a-16b = 24$,
But how to get $a+b$?
a,b is positive integer

$\lim_{x\to\infty}\sqrt{64x^2 + ax + 7} - 8x + b = \frac32$
Define $k(x) \equiv 
\sqrt{64x^2 + ax + 7} - 8x$ 
$k(x)= (\sqrt{64x^2 + ax + 7} - 8x) \frac{\sqrt{64x^2 + ax + 7} + 8x}{\sqrt{64x^2 + ax + 7} + 8x}$
$$=\frac{64x^2 + ax + 7 - 64x^2}{\sqrt{64x^2 + ax + 7} + 8x}$$
$$=\frac{a + \frac7x}{\sqrt{64 + \frac ax + \frac 7 {x^2}} + 8}$$
So $\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}k(x) = \frac a {16}$
And by assumption, $\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} k(x) + b = \frac 3 2$, so 
$$\frac a {16} + b = \frac 3 2$$
This is a necessary and sufficient condition for the conditions stated, meaning there are many possible solutions. For example, setting $a = 0, b = \frac 3 2$ works and then $a + b = \frac 3 2$.
