Maria opens a savings account with $50 and then saves $10 each week How many weeks will it take for her account to reach $2597 Represent this problem with an equation in the form px + q = r (1 point)

16r - 50 = 259

19x + 50 - 259

250 + 50 - 19x

50x + 10 - 259

Let's start breaking down the problem to form an equation in the form px + q = r.

Maria opens a savings account with $50. We can represent this as q = 50.

She saves $10 each week. We can represent this as px = 10.

Her account will reach $2597. We can represent this as r = 2597.

Now, let's put it all together in the equation px + q = r:

10x + 50 = 2597
