***Make sure to have x and an inequality sign in your answer

Answer 1

a) The inequality that represents the cost of making x amount of cakes not exceeding the investment of $10,000 is:

14x ≤ 10000

b) To solve this inequality, divide both sides by 14:

x ≤ 10000/14

Round to the nearest dollar:

x ≤ 714.29

Therefore, the solution for the inequality is:

x ≤ 714.
