Answer 1

To solve the equation $x^2=36169$ using inspection, we can take the square root of both sides.

1. Take the square root of 36169: $$\sqrt{36169}=189$$

2. Therefore, the two solutions for $x$ are: $$x=189\text{and}x=-189$$

Hence, the solution set is: $$-189,189$$

Since none of the given responses matches our solution set, none of the provided options are correct, but if we were to choose from what was listed, we would state:

There are no real solutions.

However, the actual solution set found from $x^2=36169$ is $-189,189$.
