What in the world am I doing wrong?
// Enter your code below
let name = "Matt"
let greeting = "Hi there"
let interpolatedgreeting = "\(greeting), \(name)."
let finalGreeting = "How are you?"
let concatenatedfinalGreeting = greeting + ", " + name + ". " + finalgreeting + "?"

Combining the strings can be done a bit simpler which is what the code challenge is looking for in terms of an answer.
For part 1, all you needed is this.
let name = "Matt"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
// there is no need for two interpolated strings like in your example
For part 2, just combine the greeting constant with the new string like this.
let name = "Matt"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
let finalGreeting = greeting + "How are you?"
I hope that helps,
Mike
