To solve the equation x^2 = 81/144, we can take the square root of both sides:

x = ±√(81/144)
x = ±(√81)/(√144)
x = ±(9/12)
x = ±3/4

Therefore, the correct statements are:
x = 3/4
x = -3/4

Of course! To solve the equation x^2 = 81/144, we want to find the value(s) of x that satisfy this equation.

1. First, take the square root of both sides of the equation:
x = ± √(81/144)

2. Simplify the right side of the equation:
x = ± √(81) / √(144)

3. Calculate the square roots:
x = ± 9 / 12

4. Simplify the fraction:
x = ± 3 / 4

So, when solving the equation x^2 = 81/144, we find that x can be either 3/4 or -3/4. When writing the answers, we use the ± symbol to indicate that x could be positive or negative.
