The given expression asks for the limit of a sum as \( n \to \infty \), and it is of the form:

\[
\lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \left( 7 + \frac{i}{n} \right) \left( \frac{3}{n} \right)
\]

This type of sum resembles a Riemann sum, which is often used to approximate integrals.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

#### 1. Interpret as a Riemann Sum
The sum can be written in a form suitable for interpretation as a Riemann sum:
\[
S_n = \sum_{i=1}^{n} \left( 7 + \frac{i}{n} \right) \left( \frac{3}{n} \right)
\]
The term \( \frac{3}{n} \) can be viewed as the width of the partition, and \( \left( 7 + \frac{i}{n} \right) \) as the height of the function at each point.

The general form of a Riemann sum is:
\[
\sum_{i=1}^{n} f(x_i) \Delta x
\]
where \( \Delta x = \frac{b - a}{n} \) and \( x_i = a + i \Delta x \).

#### 2. Recognize the Integral
As \( n \to \infty \), the sum becomes an integral. The expression inside the summation suggests that the function we are approximating is \( f(x) = 7 + x \) and the partition is uniform over the interval \( [0,1] \). Hence, we can write the integral as:
\[
\int_0^1 (7 + x) \cdot 3 \, dx
\]

#### 3. Compute the Integral
Now, let's compute the integral:
\[
\int_0^1 (7 + x) \cdot 3 \, dx = 3 \int_0^1 (7 + x) \, dx
\]

Breaking this into two simpler integrals:
\[
3 \int_0^1 7 \, dx + 3 \int_0^1 x \, dx
\]

- The first integral is:
\[
3 \cdot 7 \int_0^1 1 \, dx = 3 \cdot 7 \cdot [x]_0^1 = 21 \cdot (1 - 0) = 21
\]

- The second integral is:
\[
3 \int_0^1 x \, dx = 3 \cdot \left[ \frac{x^2}{2} \right]_0^1 = 3 \cdot \left( \frac{1^2}{2} - \frac{0^2}{2} \right) = 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}
\]

#### 4. Final Answer
Adding both results together:
\[
21 + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{42}{2} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{45}{2}
\]

Thus, the limit of the sum as \( n \to \infty \) is:
\[
\boxed{\frac{45}{2}}
\]
