Answer 1

To solve the equation \(36x - 19 = 53\) for \(x\), we need to isolate \(x\).

1. First, we will add 19 to both sides of the equation to eliminate the -19: \[ 36x - 19 + 19 = 53 + 19 \] which simplifies to: \[ 36x = 72 \]

2. Next, we will divide both sides by 36 to solve for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{72}{36} \] which simplifies to: \[ x = 2 \]

So, Stacia bought 2 tickets.

The operations needed to solve this problem are addition and division.

Therefore, the correct response is: addition and division.
