Let's solve the problem given to us today! The problem is the following:


\mapsto\quad\textbf{five more than the sum of x and y}

First, we are going to write the sum of x and y:
x+y

Then, we add 5 to this sum:
x+y+5

Therefore, our final expression is
x+y+5.

Remember this...

The sum of two numbers is the result of adding these two numbers.

X more than Y means we're adding x to y.
