Nope.

The 10 years has nothing to do with this problem.

Nope it's exactly worded that way but if it helps at the end of the question it says (0 ≤ x ≤ 10)

The correct statement is

Salary = 2000x + 45500 , 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 , x ∈ I

so it looks like B is the closest match.

James's answer is incorrect,
e.g. if x = 1 , the salary based on his formula is 45700
whereas it should be 47500, which is obtained with B
