259+50=19x259 plus 50 is equal to 19 x

19x+50=25919 x plus 50 is equal to 259

19x−50=25919 x minus 50 is equal to 259

50x+19=259

Let x represent the number of weeks it takes for Maria's account to reach $259.

Since Maria saves $19 each week, the amount of money in her account after x weeks is 19x.

The initial amount in the account is $50.

Therefore, the equation representing the problem is:

19x + 50 = 259.

Let's represent this problem with an equation.

The initial amount in Maria's savings account is $50, and she saves $19 each week. Let's assume it takes x weeks for her account to reach $259.

The amount of money Maria saves each week can be represented as 19x.

The total amount in her account, including the initial deposit, can be represented as 50 + 19x.

So, the equation representing this problem is:

50 + 19x = 259.

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To solve this problem, we need to set up an equation to represent the given information. Let's assume that it will take x weeks for Maria's account to reach $259.

Each week, Maria saves $19, so the total amount of money she saves in x weeks is 19x.

In addition, Maria initially opens the account with $50. Therefore, the total amount in Maria's account after x weeks is 50 + 19x.

We want to find the number of weeks it takes for her account to reach $259, so we can set up the equation:

50 + 19x = 259
