Python Challenge Task confusion

I'm confused at this phrasing,

"create a variable named days that is your age multiplied by 52 (we'll pretend today is your birthday) and multiplied by 7."

Am I supposed to be doing 2 different equations here, or am I simply missing the obvious?

days_alive.py 
age = (35 + 4)

days = (age) *52

They want the calculations all in one line, like this:

age = 35
days = age * 52 * 7

Cheers. I'm kicking myself now that I see it. If it were a snake, it would have bitten me. :)
