you need to use the format function.
you can use the format function on a string by placing {} inside a string and calling .format() on the string itself. you can pass in variables to the format function and their values will be inserted where the {} are.
for example, If I had two variables named x with a value of "py" and y with a value of "thon" and wanted to place them in a string somwhere I  could use: 
python
"this is {} and this is {}".format(x, y)

the value of x would be inserted where the first {} is and the value of y inserted into the next one to create a string that said 'this is py and this is thon"
so if we want to insert the value of estimate into the string we could use
```python
age = 13
days = (age527)
estimate = round(days)
value of estimate is inserted where {} is
summary = "I am {} days old!".format(estimate)
```
you can read more about the format method in the documentation (https://docs.python.org/2/library/string.html)
