To solve the equation \( x^2 = \frac{36}{169} \) using inspection, we need to find values of \( x \) that satisfy this equation.

First, we take the square root of both sides:

\[ x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{36}{169}} \]

Next, we simplify the right side:

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

Therefore, the solutions for \( x \) are:

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

Thus, the solution set is:

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