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

\[
x \leq 7 - 3
\]
\[
x \leq 4
\]

This means that the solution includes all values of \( x \) that are less than or equal to 4.

On a number line, this would be represented as:

- A closed circle at 4 (indicating that 4 is included in the solution).
- A line extending to the left (towards negative infinity) from 4, indicating all numbers less than 4 are included in the solution.

Given these characteristics, the correct graph of the solution to the inequality \( x + 3 \leq 7 \) is:

1. A number line ranging from negative 10 to 10.
2. A closed circle marked at 4.
3. A line extending from 4 toward negative 10 with an arrow at the end.

Therefore, the first option describes the correct representation of \( x + 3 \leq 7 \).
