To solve the equation \( x^2 = 81 \) by inspection, we look for values of \( x \) that, when squared, equal \( 81 \).

The values we find are:

  • \( x = 9 \) because \( 9^2 = 81 \)
  • \( x = -9 \) because \( (-9)^2 = 81 \)

Both \( 9 \) and \( -9 \) satisfy the equation.

Thus, the complete solution set is:

\[ { -9, 9 } \]

So, the correct response is \( { -9, 9 } \).
