Question

Responses

19x+50=259
19 x plus 50 equals 259

50x+19=259
50 x plus 19 equals 259

19x−50=259
19 x minus 50 equals 259

259+50=19x
259 plus 50 equals 19 x

Answer 1

To solve for how many weeks it will take for Maria's savings account to reach $259, we can represent the problem with an equation using the information given:

1. Maria starts with $50.
2. She saves $19 each week.
3. We want the total amount in her account to reach $259.

The equation that represents this situation is:

\( 19x + 50 = 259 \)

Here, \( x \) represents the number of weeks.

So the correct response is:

19x + 50 = 259
(19 x plus 50 equals 259)
