To solve the equation \( x^2 = 81 \) by inspection, we can take the square root of both sides.

Taking the square root gives:

\[ x = \pm 9 \]

This means there are two solutions: \( x = 9 \) and \( x = -9 \).

Thus, the complete solution set is:

\[ { -9, 9 } \]

So the correct response is:

\({ -9, 9 }\)
