#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	cout << "Welcome to Calculator v 1.5\n\n";
	cout << "Maths Symbols";
	cout << "Add : +\n";
	cout << "Subtract : -\n";
	cout << "Multiply : *\n";
	cout << "Divide : /\n";

	char x;
	char y;
	char z;

	system("title Calculator");
	system("color 4f");

	cout << "\n\nEnter a your sum\n";

	cout << "\n>";

	cin >> x; y; z;
	
	system("pause");

	cout << "\n\nThe answer is \n\n" << x; y; z;

	cout <<"\n";

return 0;

}

On line 25 you meant cin >> x >> y >> z;
and on line 29 cout << "\n\nThe answer is \n\n" << x << y << z; I suppose...
But that will only show the input of the user.
change x and z to double and output the calculation based on the value of y

double x,z, result;
char y;
cin >> x >> y >> z;
switch (y)
{
     case '+':
          result = x+z;
          break;
     case '-':
          result = x-z;
          break;
     case '*':
          result = x*z;
          break;
     case '/':
          result = x/z;
          break;
}
cout << "\nThe result is: " << result;

you should delete previous declarations of x, y and z from your code
