A system of equations $$\begin{cases} x^2 \,\, ? \,\, z^2 = -8 \\ y^2 \,\, ? \,\, z^2 = 7 \end{cases}$$ is written on a piece of paper, but unfortunately two of the symbols are a little blurred. However, it is known that the system has at least one solution, and that each of the two question marks stands for either $+$ or $-$. What are the two symbols?
