$integerOne = $integerOne + 5;
var_dump($integerOne);

$integerTwo = 2;
var_dump($integerTwo);
$integerTwo = $integerTwo - 1;

You should have seen this message: "Bummer: Make sure you use "echo" instead of "var_dump"".

All those "var_dump" statements are not in the instructions, and the challenge thinks you are using the wrong method to output the value it did ask for. Just remove those and you'll pass.
