259+50=19x

50x+19=259

19x+50=259

19x−50=259

Answer 1

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
