Start with the cost and form an equation from there. Chloe can only spend $70 max which means she can spend 70 or less. To account for the prices of each item, set the price as the coefficient of the corresponding variable.
7x+5y≤70
Then work on cubic inches. Use the same method from before and create an equation.
3x+15y≤60
To find the last two equations, find of the number of bracelets and t-shirts Chloe can buy. For example, we know based on space and money, Chloe can only buy so many of each item. To find these values, substitute 0 in for the other variable and solve the equation.
3x+15(0)=60
x≤20
7(0)+5y=70
y≤14

Just looked over this answer again and X and/or Y can NOT be negative.
