Why does this SIMPLE code not work

The first and last f1 return the same result, even though x has been changed along the way. Why is this and how to fix it?
x = 1.5
f1= sin(x) + x*cos(x)
f2 = 2*cos(x)-x*sin(x)
x = x - (f1/f2)
f1
Thank you in advance!

In the last line, you are just printing to the screen the result you got in the 2nd line. If you want f1 to be calculated again you need to do so.
x = 1.5
f1= sin(x) + x*cos(x)
f2 = 2*cos(x)-x*sin(x)
x = x - (f1/f2)
f1_new = sin(x) + x*cos(x) % renamed so you can see that it is different than the original f1.
