Solve x^2 = 36 by inspection

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( x^2 = 36 \) by inspection, we look for values of \( x \) that, when squared, equal 36.

The square root of 36 is 6, so we have:

\[ x = 6 \quad \text{and} \quad x = -6 \]

Therefore, the solutions to the equation \( x^2 = 36 \) are:

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