The total earnings of the salesman each month are expressed as \(2,000 + 0.1s\), where \(s\) is the total sales in dollars.

In this equation:

- \(2,000\) is a fixed amount that he receives regardless of his sales, which is characteristic of a base salary.
- \(0.1s\) represents the commission he earns, which is a percentage (10% in this case) of his sales.

Thus, the $2,000 represents his monthly base salary.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
• A. his monthly base salary in dollars

The value of the baseball card is given by the equation \(0.15y + 0.35\), where \(y\) is the number of years since it was released.

In this equation:

- The coefficient of \(y\) (which is \(0.15\)) represents the rate of increase in value per year.

As \(y\) increases by 1 (i.e., each year), the value of the baseball card increases by \(0.15\) dollars.

Therefore, the baseball card's value is increasing by:

**A. $0.15** per year.

To manipulate the equation \(y = 5x - 11\) in terms of \(x\), we need to solve for \(x\).

Starting with the original equation:

\[
y = 5x - 11
\]

1. Add \(11\) to both sides:

\[
y + 11 = 5x
\]

2. Now, divide both sides by \(5\):

\[
x = \frac{y + 11}{5}
\]

This can be rewritten as:

\[
x = \frac{y}{5} + \frac{11}{5}
\]

Looking at the answer choices provided, none of the options exactly match the derived equation.

However, it appears that **none** of the options are correct. The correct equivalent to \(y = 5x - 11\) rewritten in terms of \(x\) is:

\[
x = \frac{y + 11}{5}
\]
