<span>Let x represent the number of cookies
y represent the number of brownies

</span> $1x + $2y >= <span>$350

or

x + 2y >= 350</span>

Since cookies are $1 each --- $1x
Brownies are $2 each ----- 2y
And she needs at least $350 means she can make either more that 350 or exactly 350 hence the inequality will be
x + 2y ≥ 350
