Rachel,
x + y = 40
The expression is f(x) = 2x + y + 5
or f(x) = 2x + (40 -x) + 5
f(x) = x + 45

asked • 01/13/15The sum of two numbers is forty.
The sum of two numbers is forty. Using x to represent the smaller of the two numbers, translate "the sum of twice the smaller number and five more than the larger number" into a variable expression. Then simplify.
