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
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
