To solve this problem using the equation 36x - 19 = 53, you need to use the operations of subtraction and division.
1. Subtract 19 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with the variable:
36x - 19 - 19 = 53 - 19
36x - 38 = 34
2. Add 38 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:
36x - 38 + 38 = 34 + 38
36x = 72
3. Divide both sides of the equation by 36 to solve for x:
36x / 36 = 72 / 36
x = 2
