PHP PHP Basics Unit Converter Manipulating Numbers

I'm stuck on this quiz and cannot go any further with training

the task Create a New Float Variable named $floatOne with a value of 1.5. After adding 5 to $integerOne, and without further changes to the value of $integerOne or $floatOne, multiply $integerOne by $floatOne and display the results.

Can anyone point out where I am going wrong? thank you

index.php
<?php

//Place your code below this comment

$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
$floatOne = 1.5;

$integerOne = $integerOne + 5;
var_dump($integerOne);
$integerTwo--;
var_dump($integerTwo);
$integerOne = $integerOne * $floatOne;
var_dump($integerOne)

?>

Hi sharon,
this worked for me:

$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
$floatOne = 1.5;
$integerOne = 1 + 5;
$integerTwo--;
echo ($integerOne * $floatOne);

Michael Watson thank you very much for your guidance. please could you tell me where I am going wrong?
