Maria 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 this problem with an equation.(1 point)

Answer 1

Let x be the number of weeks Maria saves.
The amount of money Maria saves in x weeks is 19x.
The total amount in her account after x weeks is 50+19x.
We need to solve the equation 50+19x=259.
