Maria opens a savings account with $50 and then saves $19 each week. How many weeks will it take for her account to reach $259? Represent this problem with an equation in the form px+q=r .
A. 259+50=19x
B. 50x+19=259
C. 19x+50=259
D. 19x−50=259
Let x be the number of weeks it takes for Maria's account to reach $259.
The total amount in her account after x weeks can be represented by the equation:
50 + 19x = 259.
Thus, the correct answer is C. 19x+50=259.
