Looking for a linear equation (I think)

Question

I'm learning computer programming and I am trying to solve a problem that I think may have an algebraic solution.

I am trying to create a sequence of numbers that starts with adding a number to itself and then taking the result and adding that to itself and so on until the sequence is created.

I need to achieve this with a single-lined expression because I cannot reassign varibles using multiple line of code due to school assignment constraints.

I need to take something like this:

y = x + x

x = y

and turn it into a single lined equation.

Can anybody guide me on this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

It works fine with this:

x=x+x
