Nope.
The 10 years has nothing to do with this problem.
Sarah has a job that pays $45,500 per year with a guaranteed pay increase of $2,000 each year for 10 years. What is the formula for Sarah’s salary, S, if she has worked x years?
A. 45,500x+2000
B. 45,500x+2000x
C. 45,500x+2,000(10)
D. 45,500x+2,000(10)x
I think it's C

I believe there's an error in this problem. Please double check the wording of the problem and the answer choices.
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
Salary = 2000x + 45500 , 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 , x ∈ I
