To represent this problem with an equation, we can use the variable "w" to represent the number of weeks it takes for Maria's account to reach $259.

Based on the given information, Maria's initial balance is $50, and she saves an additional $19 each week. So after w weeks, Maria's balance can be represented as:

50 + 19w = 259.

In this equation, 50 represents her initial balance, 19 represents the additional amount she saves each week, and 259 represents the final amount she wants to reach.

Now you can solve this equation to find the value of w, which will give you the number of weeks it will take for her account to reach $259.

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

We know that Maria opens her account with $50 and saves $19 each week. Therefore, after x weeks, Maria will have saved a total of 50 + 19x dollars.

We can set up the equation as follows:

50 + 19x = 259

This equation represents the situation where Maria's account reaches $259 after x weeks.
