Let x represent the number of weeks it takes for her account to reach $259.
Since Maria saves $19 each week, the amount saved after x weeks would be 19x.
Since she initially opened the account with $50, the total amount in her account after x weeks would be 50 + 19x.
Therefore, the equation representing this problem is:
50 + 19x = 259
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 in the form px+q=r .(1 point)
