Answer:
Given that 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
let's consider that :
x represents the number of weeks
p represents the amount she saved every week
q represents the initial amount she have
r represents the final Amount
According to the question:
p = $19
q = $50
r = $259
Then,
19x + 50 = 259 [required equation]
Let's solve for x:
19x + 50 = 259 (subtract 50 from both sides)
19x = 259 - 50
19x = 209 (divide both sides by 11)
x = 11
Therfore, It will take 11 weeks will it take for her account to reach $259.
