To solve the equation \( 36x - 19 = 53 \), we need to identify the operations involved:

  1. Addition to isolate the term with \( x \):

    • We would add \( 19 \) to both sides to move the constant to the other side of the equation.

  2. Division to solve for \( x \):

    • After simplifying, we would divide by \( 36 \) to solve for \( x \).

Therefore, the correct operations needed to solve the problem are addition and division. The answer is:

addition and division.
