544 PointsMy answer is working in my workspace but is wrong in the quiz
$integerOne = 1 $integerTwo = 2 Q: Add 5 to $integerOne AND subtract 1 from $integerTwo My answer works in my Treehouse Workspace but the question in the quiz keeps telling me it's incorrect:
<?php
$integerOne = 1; $integerTwo = 2;
$a = 5; $b = 1;
var_dump($integerOne + $a); var_dump($integerTwo - $b);
echo $a; echo $b;
?>
I've tried several times. What am I doing wrong?
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
$a = 5;
$b = 1;
var_dump($integerOne + $a);
var_dump($integerTwo - $b);
echo $a;
echo $b;
?>

This code passes the 2nd task:
<?php
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
$integerOne += 5;
$integerTwo -= 1;
?>
Do you see how I did this differently?
