To solve the equation \( x^2 = \frac{36}{169} \) using inspection, we can take the square root of both sides.

Starting with the equation: \[ x^2 = \frac{36}{169} \]

Taking the square root of both sides gives: \[ x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{36}{169}} \]

We can simplify that: \[ x = \pm \frac{\sqrt{36}}{\sqrt{169}} = \pm \frac{6}{13} \]

This leads us to the solutions: \[ x = \frac{6}{13} \quad \text{and} \quad x = -\frac{6}{13} \]

Thus, the solution set is: \[ \left{ -\frac{6}{13}, \frac{6}{13} \right} \]

So the correct response is: \[ {−\frac{6}{13}, \frac{6}{13}} \]
