Courses Plus Student 3,630 PointsPython: Go back 5 minutes using datetime.timedelta()?
So, I'm doing this exercise related to the Python datetime module. It says "Create a timedelta that goes back 5 minutes.
It gives me this :
datetime.timedelta(_____=_____)
I must fill in the gaps.
So I put this:
datetime.timedelta(minutes=datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(minutes=5))
I just tested it in my Python shell, and it works, but apparently this is an incorrect answer. Help is appreciated.

Treehouse ModeratorHey there Zachary Williams You are super close! We want the minutes to be -5 rather than plus 5.
