x = Number of bracelets.

Cost of bracelets:
Each cost $2,  totaling = 2*x = 2x

One time cost of $15
Therefore Total cost = 2x + 15

to Break even her sales need to be more than the cost.

Amount from sales:  $5 each, for the x =  5*x = 5x


Cost =  $(2x +15)

Sale =  $5x

To break even

                         Sale  >   Cost

                         5x  >  2x + 15

                     5x - 2x > 15

                          3x  > 15

                            x  > 15/5

                              x   > 3

So to break even she needs to make more than 3 bracelets from each supply.        

Answer: 2 x + 15 = 5 x
