If that's a local variable declaration, then four bytes will be reserved in the method's stack frame for the variable x which will contain the integer literal, 7.

If it's a private instance field declaration of a class, then four bytes of the instance's memory allocation on the heap will be used by the field, x, which will be initialized to the value 7.
