259+50=19x
259 plus 50 is equal to 19 x
19x+50=259
19 x plus 50 is equal to 259
19x−50=259
19 x minus 50 is equal to 259
50x+19=259
50 x plus 19 is equal to 259
19x + 50 = 259
The correct equation to represent this problem is:
19x + 50 = 259
To represent this problem with an equation, we need to determine the relationship between the amount of money saved each week and the total amount in the savings account.
Maria saves $19 each week, so after 'x' weeks, she will have saved 19x dollars.
The initial amount in the savings account is $50. So the total amount in the account after 'x' weeks will be 50 + 19x.
Therefore, the correct equation to represent this problem is:
50 + 19x = 259
