Let "w" represent the number of weeks.
The amount Maria saves each week can be represented by the equation: $19w.
The initial amount in her account can be represented by the equation: $50.
The amount in her account after "w" weeks can be represented by the equation: $50 + $19w.
We need to find the value of "w" that makes the equation: $50 + $19w = $259 true.
So, the equation is: $50 + $19w = $259.
Maria opens a savings account with $50 and then saves $19 each week. How many weeks will it take for her account to reach $259? Represent this problem with an equation.(1 point)
