x is initially assigned the value 10.  x += 5 takes the value of x, adds 5, and stores it back in x.  you can think of it as shorthand for "x = x + 5"

If you want to do bit twiddling (writing device drivers, for example), it's relatively convenient.  If you want to build something using object-oriented programming concepts, uh, not quite so convenient :-)
