Let's represent the number of weeks it will take for Kiyah's account to reach $259 as "w".
We know that Kiyah opens the account with $50, and then saves $19 each week. Therefore, after w weeks, Kiyah will have saved a total of 19w dollars.
Since the initial amount in the account ($50) and the amount saved ($19w) must equal the desired amount in the account ($259), we can write the equation:
$50 + $19w = $259
