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. 50x+19=259
B. 19x+50=259
C.259+50=19x
D.19x-50=259
Let x represent the number of weeks it will take for her account to reach 259.
Each week, Maria saves $19, so after x weeks, she will have saved a total of 19x dollars.
She opens the account with $50, so the equation representing the situation is: 19x + 50 = 259
Therefore, the correct answer is: A. 50x + 19 = 259
