Can't get a do while statement to run

the quiz wants me to make 

var x = 1;
do {
    console.log('#' + x);
    x += ___
} while ( x <=15 )

to print #1 #3 #5 #7 #9 #11 #13 #15 I can't figure out what value is supposed to fill in the blank. I got the do and while, and that the console needs to write # and the value of x to the console, but every number i tried to enter for the x += value hasn't worked :(

you already set the value of x = 1, then x is now 1. and you want to print 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15.

1 + 2 = 3,

3 + 2 = 5,

as you can see its adding 2 everytime.
