    }

    static void Main(string[] args)

Here is a hint from the challenge itself:

In Main, you need to add the return values from the two calls to Multiply together: Multiply(2.5, 2) + Multiply(6, 7)

Hello, I am good with everything up to the point in the code challenge referenced above until the instructions ask for:

add those together, and print the result. Multiply(2.5, 2) should return 5, and Multiply(6, 7) should return 42, so you should get a result of 47.

How do I print the result of the addition of the values returned from the two Multiply calls, and why?

I am not sure what to put in the statement with Console.WriteLine in the Multiply method.

Thanks!
