In order to solve this problem using the equation 36x - 19 = 53, the following operations are needed:
1. Multiply the ticket price by the number of tickets bought (36x).
2. Subtract the discount amount from the total price (36x - 19).
3. Set the result equal to the total amount paid (36x - 19 = 53).
4. Simplify and solve for x to determine the number of tickets bought.
