28,558 PointsYou pass a parameter by putting it inside the parentheses when calling a method, like this:
Console.WriteLine(PARAMETER);
You can supply multiple parameters by separating them with commas:
Console.WriteLine(PARAMETER1, PARAMETER2, PARAMETER3);
It should also be noted that when you are referencing a variable you do not put it in quotes like you are doing in your code, quotes are only used for strings.
So to sum things up, to fix your code you have to drop the = sign and the quotes around "firstName". Then move firstName within the parenthesis of the Console.WriteLine method.
