Apologies for the error in my response. Let's revisit the options:

The equation x? = 36 is the same as asking "What number squared equals 36?"

Therefore, the square root of 36 is 6, but it can be positive or negative 6: x = 6 or x = -6 are solutions.

So the correct statements are:
• x = 6 is a solution
• x = -6 is a solution
