its called a variable for a reason. This is simple Algebra

You can treat your variables like you would any variable in Algebra

so just like if I made

x=5

and then I said

x= x+1

x which was original 5, now adding 1 means that it now equals 6.

so

mov %x,5

mov %x,%x+1

would mean that in the end x = 6

where in math instead of y=x+1 or whatever X is used on both sides but your "Y" here in programming is the new X if that makes sense lol
