What am I doing wrong?

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong? I'm trying to multiply $integerOne by $floatOne.

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
$floatOne = 1.5;
$multiply = $integerOne * $floatOne;

echo $integerOne += 5;
echo $integerTwo -= 1;
echo $multiply;
?>

You should declare $multiply after the value of $integerOne has changed. I also removed the echo statements from task 2 to get the following which passes the challenge

<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
$floatOne = 1.5;

$integerOne += 5;
$integerTwo -= 1;

$multiply = $integerOne * $floatOne;
echo $multiply;
?>
