Solve x2=36 by inspection. There are two real solutions. Enter the lesser number first.

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( x^2 = 36 \) by inspection, we can take the square root of both sides. The solutions can be found as follows:

1. \( x = \sqrt{36} = 6 \)
2. \( x = -\sqrt{36} = -6 \)

Thus, the two real solutions are \( -6 \) and \( 6 \).

Entering the lesser number first, the solutions are:

\(-6, 6\)
