Let x represent the number of weeks Maria saves for.

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

She already has $50 in her account, so the total amount of money in her account after x weeks is 50 + 19x.

We want this total amount to reach $259, so the equation representing this problem is:

50 + 19x = 259
