The correct answer is "addition and division".

To solve the equation 36x - 19 = 53, we need to first subtract 19 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with "x".

So, 36x - 19 - 19 = 53 - 19

This simplifies to 36x - 38 = 34.

Next, we need to add 38 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with "x".

So, 36x - 38 + 38 = 34 + 38

This simplifies to 36x = 72.

Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 36 to solve for "x".

So, 36x / 36 = 72 / 36

This simplifies to x = 2.

Therefore, Stacia bought 2 concert tickets.
