12,382 PointsHi Gary,
For this task, you have to write the value to the variable. The correct way to do this is as follows:
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
$integerOne += 5;
$integerTwo -= 1;
You would use '+' and '-' in a situation like this, for example:
$integerOne = 2;
$integerTwo = 4;
echo $integerOne + $integerTwo;
Good luck. :)

20,363 PointsYou aren't changing the values of $integerOne and $integerTwo. To change them, you need to say that they are equal to themselves, followed by the addition and subtraction you have defined. Like this:
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
//Task 1 of 3
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
//Task 2 of 3
$integerOne = $integerOne + 5;
$integerTwo = $integerTwo -1;
//Task 3 of 3
$floatOne = 1.5;
$result = $integerOne * $floatOne;
echo $result;
?>
```
