You can only extend the partition if there is un-allocated disk to its side.

In your case dev/sda8 is in between your file system and un-allocated space. So if want to extend the file system first move the partition dev/sda8 to right and try extending the file system.

Be careful when you move the partition it may result in data lost.

Tell me if it works

Here is the solution to your problem.. Even though you have unallocated space in your drive, it is not right next to the partition whose size you want to increase. Try moving (NOT-increasing the size of) sda8 to the right, and try resizing your file-system partition.
