x  - 4*x - 27 = 0
$$\left(x^{2} - 4 x\right) - 27 = 0$$
Detail solution
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = -4$$
$$c = -27$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-4)^2 - 4 * (1) * (-27) = 124

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = 2 + \sqrt{31}$$
$$x_{2} = 2 - \sqrt{31}$$
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced quadratic equation
$$p x + q + x^{2} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = -4$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = -27$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = q$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = 4$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = -27$$
