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
Answers
A 19X - 50 = 259
B 19X + 50 = 259
C 259 + 50 = 19X
D 50X + 19 = 259
Let x represent the number of weeks it will take for Maria's account to reach $259.
Each week, she saves $19. So after x weeks, she will have saved a total of 19x dollars.
Maria initially opened the account with $50. So, the total amount in her account after x weeks will be 50 + 19x.
The equation that represents this problem in the form px+q=r is:
19x + 50 = 259
Answer:
B 19X + 50 = 259
