Question

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)
Responses

50x+19=259
50 x plus 19 equals 259

259+50=19x
259 plus 50 equals 19 x

19x+50=259
19 x plus 50 equals 259

19x−50=259

1 answer

To represent the problem with an equation in the form \( px + q = r \):

Maria starts with $50 and saves $19 each week. If \( x \) represents the number of weeks, the total amount in her account after \( x \) weeks can be expressed as:

\[ 19x + 50 = 259 \]

Therefore, the correct representation of the problem is:

19x + 50 = 259

This corresponds to the response:

19 x plus 50 equals 259.
