#2(x+5)#

Explanation:

If you double the sum of #x# and #5#, you first must sum up #x# and #5#.

#x+5#

In order to double this sum, you multiply it by #2#

#2(x+5)#

We put parenthesis around the #x# and #5# summation to show we want to multiply the final sum (that is, both the #x# and the #5#) by #2#.
