To solve the equation \( x^2 = \frac{36}{169} \) by inspection, we can recognize that we want to find \( x \) such that \( x^2 \) equals a specific value.

We can rewrite the equation as follows:

\[ x = \sqrt{\frac{36}{169}} \quad \text{or} \quad x = -\sqrt{\frac{36}{169}} \]

Now, we can simplify the square root:

\[ \sqrt{\frac{36}{169}} = \frac{\sqrt{36}}{\sqrt{169}} = \frac{6}{13} \]

Thus, the solutions to the equation are:

\[ x = \frac{6}{13} \quad \text{or} \quad x = -\frac{6}{13} \]

So the complete solution set is:

\[ \left{ \frac{6}{13}, -\frac{6}{13} \right} \]

Since we have found real solutions, we do not need to select "There are no real solutions." The correct solution set is:

\[ \left{ \frac{6}{13}, -\frac{6}{13} \right} \]
