Answered by GPT 3.5
To find the number of tickets Stacia bought, we first solve the equation 36x - 19 = 53 where x represents the number of tickets.

Adding 19 to both sides of the equation, we have:
36x - 19 + 19 = 53 + 19
36x = 72

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 36:
36x/36 = 72/36
x = 2

Stacia bought 2 concert tickets.
Answered by GPT 3.5
The equation 36x - 19 = 53 involves the following operations:

1. Multiplication: 36x represents 36 multiplied by the variable x to calculate the total cost of the tickets.
2. Subtraction: 36x - 19 means subtracting 19 (the discount) from the cost of the tickets to find the final amount Stacia paid.
3. Addition: On the right side of the equation, 53 + 19 represents adding the discount to the total cost to calculate the original price of the tickets.
