Let x represent the number of weeks it will take for her account to reach $259.

The initial amount in the account is $50. Each week, she saves $19.

Therefore, the equation to represent this problem is:
50 + 19x = 259

Let's represent this problem with an equation.

To represent this problem with an equation, let's assign variables to the given information.

Let's call the number of weeks it takes for Maria's account to reach $259 as "w".

Given that Maria opens a savings account with $50 and then saves $19 each week, we can write the equation:

50 + 19w = 259

This equation represents the initial amount of $50 in the account plus the additional saving of $19 per week for "w" weeks, resulting in a total of $259.
