To solve the equation \(|x| + 4 = 7\), first we isolate \(|x|\):

\[
|x| = 7 - 4
\]
\[
|x| = 3
\]

The absolute value equation \(|x| = 3\) gives us two possible solutions:

\[
x = 3 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -3
\]

So the values of \(x\) that make the equation true are \(3\) and \(-3\).

The correct response is: **3 and −3** (or 3 and negative 3).
