To write the equation that corresponds with the scenario, we can break down Tessa's savings:

  1. Tessa starts with $50 from her grandma.
  2. She saves an additional $12 each week, which can be represented as \(12x\), where \(x\) is the number of weeks she saves.
  3. She wants to buy a tablet that costs $398.

Putting this together, the equation that represents her total savings after \(x\) weeks is:

\[ 50 + 12x = 398 \]

So, in the response areas, it would look like this:

Response area for \( x \): \( 12x \)

Response area for \( + \): \( + \)

Response area for \( 50 \): \( 50 \)

Response area for \( = \): \( = \)

Response area for \( 398 \): \( 398 \)

The complete equation is:

50 + 12x = 398
