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

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

Next, we can simplify the square root:

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

Therefore, the solutions are:

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

Thus, the solution set is:

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

So the correct response is:

\({ -\frac{6}{13}, \frac{6}{13} }\)
