remove the new keyword from the second line. you already have a generator, you dont need a new one. you need to call the nextInt method on the instance of Random you created on the line above.

Random randomGenerator = new Random();
// call nextInt on the instance of Random created above, which is named randomGenerator
int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt()
