Maria opened a savings account with $50 and then saves $19 each week how many weeks will it take for her account to reach 259 represent this problem with an equation in the form of Px + Q = R

Answer 1

Let's represent the number of weeks it will take for Maria's account to reach $259 as "x".

Since Maria saves $19 each week, the total amount she will save in "x" weeks can be represented as 19x.

The initial amount Maria opened the account with is $50.

Therefore, the equation in the form of Px + Q = R can be written as:
19x + 50 = 259
