The parens are evil.

  cout << "The number entered was " << x << " and " << y << endl;

This will be parsed from left to right as it should

   ((((cout<<"The number entered was ")<<x)<<" and ")<<y)<<endl;

'return' is not a function. Forget the parens.

          return x+y;

Although putting parens doesn't do any damage in this case. It just
serves no purpose.
