Hey @Brandon Hunt (https://teamtreehouse.com/brandonhunt4) ! :wave:
As stated in the challenge, we'll want to return the results of the math in our Multiply method instead of logging it to the console. So we'll want to use the return keyword instead of Console.WriteLine().
Also, since this Multiply method will now be returning a value, we need to change void in the method to the data type we want to return, which is also stated in the challenge above. 
Then you'll need to do similar changes for your second Main method. Just be sure to read the challenge tasks carefully :smiley: I hope this helps you out!

There's a statement keyword just for this purpose, named return.
You might want to review the lesson on Method Return Values (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/c-basics-2/method-return-values).
