writing one extra x is just redundant. x+=5 is same as x=x+5. and no it wouldn't continue grow because you are doing it only once

Question on the answer. Why would you use that same variable name? if you do x=x+5, wouldn't that continue to just grow? x=value y=value+5 print(y) I am sure my logic is flawed, so any explanation would be appreciated.
