Integers

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I have to add 5 to $integerOne. My solution:

$integerOne = 1 + 5;

Why is this not correct?

Thank You

index.php
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = (1+5);
$integerTwo = 2 - $integerOne;

?>

The instructions aren't real clear on how to go about doing this. The challenge is looking for you to add 5 in a new statement such as this:

<?php
$integerOne = 1;
$integerOne += 5;

Hm... without your help I never figured it out. Thank you Benjamin
