To solve the equation \( x^2 = 36 \) by inspection, we need to find the values of \( x \) that satisfy this equation.
We know that:
\[
x = \sqrt{36} \quad \text{or} \quad x = -\sqrt{36}
\]
Calculating the square root gives us:
\[
x = 6 \quad \text{and} \quad x = -6
\]
So the solutions are \( -6 \) and \( 6 \).
The lesser number first means the answers should be entered as:
\[
\{-6, 6\}
\]
