This statement can be concluded from the fact that A and X work in a positive feedback mechanism.
In a positive feedback mechanism, a stimulus produces a response (secretion of hormone A) which has an effect (increase in X) that increases the original stimulus. A cycle is created, in which secretion of A causes an increase of X, and the increase of X causes an increased secretion of A.
