"+" is an arithmetics operator. "=" is an assignment operator. By operator precedence, arithmetic operators are proceed first before assignment unless specified otherwise.

Technically speaking, "=" is an operator (the assignment operator) and the variable "x" is an operand (the left operand) of the assignment operator in the " x = 3 + 6" expression, just as "3" is the left operand of the "+" operator in the same expression.

For an "=" assignment operator, left side operand should be definitely a variable and right side operand can be a variable or a constant. So, In this statement, "x " is an operand for the "=" assignment operator which should be obviously a variable. So here x is both operand and variable
