The correct operations needed to solve this problem using the equation 36x - 19 = 53 are subtraction and division.

Explanation:
To solve the equation 36x - 19 = 53, we need to isolate the variable x, which represents the number of tickets Stacia bought.

First, we subtract 19 from both sides of the equation:
36x - 19 - 19 = 53 - 19
36x - 38 = 34

Next, we isolate x by dividing both sides of the equation by 36:
(36x - 38) / 36 = 34 / 36
x - (38/36) = (17/18)

Simplifying further, we find:
x - (19/18) = (17/18)

Finally, we can conclude that Stacia bought approximately 1 ticket.
