Answer

True

Work Step by Step

Recall: The intersection of sets A and B is the set that contains the elements that are common to both sets. $(-\infty, 7]$ contains all the real numbers that are less than or equal to $7$. $[7, \infty)$ contains all the real numbers that are greater than or equal to $7$. Note that the only number common to both sets is $7$. Thus, $$(-\infty, 7] \cap [7, \infty)=\left\{7\right\}$$ Hence, the given statement is true.
