A number line with arrows at both the ends ranges from negative 7 to 13 in unit increments. A closed circle is marked on the tick line above 10. A line is drawn from 10 toward 13 with an arrow at the end.

A number line with arrows at both the ends ranges from negative 10 to 10 in unit increments. A closed circle is marked on the tick line above 4. A line is drawn from 4 toward negative 10 with an arrow at the end.

To solve the inequality \( x + 3 \leq 7 \), we need to isolate \( x \):

  1. Subtract 3 from both sides: \[ x \leq 7 - 3 \] \[ x \leq 4 \]

This means that the solution includes all numbers less than or equal to 4.

On a number line, this would be represented by a closed circle at 4, and a line extending to the left (toward negative infinity) from that point.

Looking at the options you provided, the correct representation is:

A number line with arrows at both the ends ranges from negative 10 to 10 in unit increments. A closed circle is marked on the tick line above 4. A line is drawn from 4 toward negative 10 with an arrow at the end.

This graph correctly shows that the solution includes all values less than or equal to 4.
