Responses
A. 259+50=19x
B. 19x+50=259
C. 19x−50=259
D. 50x+19=259
The correct equation to represent this problem is:
B. 19x + 50 = 259
The equation that represents this problem is:
B. 19x + 50 = 259
To represent the problem with an equation, we need to identify the variables involved.
Let's say the number of weeks it takes for Maria's account to reach $259 is represented by "x".
We know that Maria starts with $50 in her account and adds $19 each week. So, the equation to represent this problem would be:
50 + 19x = 259
Therefore, the correct option is:
B. 19x + 50 = 259
