Right now, your are "reassigning" the value + 1 back to the variable, but the challenge wants you to use
the unary plus operator
which is the +=. Challenges are specific (and picky), so even if your code produces the same result, if it isn't the way the challenge wants you to get the result, it will result in a Bummer. So just re-write the line to use the += (but don't reassign the value).
Keep Coding! :)
