If I have a variable and send it's value to a function to be modified and returned, how do I get the function return to replace the original value of the variable?

Example:

import random

x = 50

def rndDelta(x):
    d = random.uniform(-10, 10)
    x = x + d
    return x

When I call rndDelta, it functions as intended, I get a return that is x adjusted by some random value. This, however, I know does not actually change x. Let's say I call randDelta(x) and it returns 42.098734087, if I then type x, I still get 50. I want x to now be 42.098734087.

What about declaring the return value as x again?

x = randDelta(x)
