x^2=36 by inspection there are two real solutions enter the lesser number first

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( x^2 = 36 \) by inspection, we can take the square root of both sides. The solutions are:

\[ x = \sqrt{36} \quad \text{and} \quad x = -\sqrt{36} \]

Calculating the square root gives:

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

Thus, the two real solutions are \( -6 \) and \( 6 \). Since you want to enter the lesser number first, the answer is:

\(-6, 6\)
