You want to start a bakery business to earn money. The total amount of money you will invest is $10,000. You will be selling cakes. It will cost you $14 to make each cake.

write an inequality that represents the cost of making x amount of cakes should not exceed this investment.

Let's assume the cost of making x amount of cakes should not exceed the investment of $10,000.

The cost of making each cake is $14, so the total cost of making x amount of cakes would be 14x dollars.
We can represent this as an inequality:

14x ≤ 10000
