Responses

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

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

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

19x−50=259

Answer 1

To represent the problem in the equation form \( px + q = r \), where:

• \( p \) is the amount saved each week (which is $19),
• \( x \) is the number of weeks,
• \( q \) is the initial amount ($50),
• and \( r \) is the target amount ($259),

the correct equation would be:

\[ 19x + 50 = 259 \]

So the answer is:

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