Fix the spacing around commas, operators, and in function calls

attempted deleting all spaces line 15 but keep getting an error message ..

starter.py 
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]


def add(num1, num2):
    return num1 + num2


def subtract(num1, num2):
    return num1 - num2


def mathy(num1, num2):
    up = add(5 + 7, 7 + 9)

I just copied your code in and it passed the challenge.

Try refreshing the page and pasting your code back in, I have this issue sometimes and it works after the refresh
