x is not the price increase, $5 is the price increase.
x is just the number of price increases (like, say, number of five-dollar bills customer would have to pay extra) and also the corresponding number of sales decreases (each decrease is 10 sales).
One price increase brings one sales decrease, so: y=(80+51)(300101).
Two price increases bring two sales decreases:
y=(80+52)(300102).
