Answer

The correct graph is $B.$

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow 7b-4\leq 10$ Add $4$ to each side. $\Rightarrow 7b-4+4\leq 10+4$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 7b\leq 14$ Divide each side by $7$. $\Rightarrow \frac{7b}{7}\leq \frac{14}{7}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow b\leq 2$ The solution is $ b\leq 2$. Use a close circle because $2$ is a solution. Shade the number line on the left side. Hence, the correct graph is $B.$
