Let x be the number of trees and y be the number of bushes.

The cost of buying trees is $14 per tree, so the total cost of buying trees is 14x dollars.
The cost of buying bushes is $5 per bush, so the total cost of buying bushes is 5y dollars.

The landscaper wishes to keep the spending under $1000, so the total cost of both trees and bushes must be less than $1000.

Putting it all together, the linear inequality in standard form is:

14x + 5y < 1000
