To solve the equation \( 36x - 19 = 53 \) for \( x \), which represents the number of concert tickets Stacia bought, we first need to isolate \( x \).
1. **Add 19 to both sides** to handle the subtraction:
\[
36x = 53 + 19
\]
\[
36x = 72
\]
2. **Then divide both sides by 36** to solve for \( x \):
\[
x = \frac{72}{36}
\]
\[
x = 2
\]
From the steps taken, you performed both addition (to eliminate the -19) and division (to solve for x).
Therefore, the correct answer is:
**subtraction and division.**
