Let x represent the number of weeks that it will take for Maria's account to reach $259.
The amount of money she saves each week is represented by the equation 19x.
The initial amount of money she had in her account is represented by the equation 50.
So, the equation representing the problem is px + q = r, which in this case is 19x + 50 = 259.
