Question

My aria 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 the problem with an equation in the form px+q=r.

Answer 1

Let x represent the number of weeks it takes for Aria's account to reach $259.

Given that Aria opens the account with $50 and saves $19 each week, the equation representing this situation can be written as:
50 + 19x = 259

So, the equation in the form px + q = r is 19x + 50 = 259.
