To solve the equation \( x^2 + 9 = 45 \), we first need to isolate \( x^2 \).
1. Subtract 9 from both sides:
\[
x^2 = 45 - 9
\]
\[
x^2 = 36
\]
2. Next, take the square root of both sides:
\[
x = \pm 6
\]
This means that the solutions are \( x = 6 \) and \( x = -6 \).
Now, let's evaluate the claims:
- **Trey** says the solution is {6}. (Incorrect, as it misses -6.)
- **Amelia** says the solution is {−6, 6}. (Correct, includes both solutions.)
- **Cho** says the solution is {−6}. (Incorrect, as it misses 6.)
Thus, the person who has found the correct solution set is:
**Amelia**.
