Start with the given equation: \(x^{2} = 169\).
To solve for \(x\), take the square root of both sides of the equation. Remember that when you take the square root of both sides, you must consider both the positive and negative roots.
Express this as \(x = \pm \sqrt{169}\), where \(\pm\) indicates both positive and negative solutions.
Calculate the square root of 169, which is 13, so the solutions are \(x = 13\) and \(x = -13\).
Therefore, the set of all real solutions includes both \(x = 13\) and \(x = -13\).
