To find the value of \( x \) that makes the equation \( 4x + 7 = 27 \) true, you can follow these steps:

1. Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation:

\[
4x + 7 - 7 = 27 - 7
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
4x = 20
\]

2. Now, divide both sides by 4 to isolate \( x \):

\[
x = \frac{20}{4}
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
x = 5
\]

Therefore, the value of \( x \) that makes the equation true is \( \boxed{5} \).
