Answer 1

To solve the equation \( x^2 = 78 \) by inspection, we can find the two real solutions by taking the square root of 78.

The two solutions are:

1. \( x = \sqrt{78} \)
2. \( x = -\sqrt{78} \)

Since you asked to enter the lesser number first, the solutions in the required format are:

\[
\{-\sqrt{78}, \sqrt{78}\}
\]
