int Add (int x,int y)
{ 
   cout << ("The number entered was" << x << "and" << y << "\n");
   return(x+y);
}

what you are doing is bit shifting a const char[23] left x times.
lose the quotation marks.

rather try



int Add (int x,int y)
{ 
  cout << "The number entered was" << x << "and" << y << endl;
  return (x + y);
}
