The problem is that you use String Interpolation when you want to extract the value from a variable or constant and place it inside of a string literal. A string literal is a sequence of characters beginning and ending with quotes. Such as "This is a string literal". Therefore, to create your output string you only need one set of quotes. The values that are not strings and are stored in a variable/constant you will use String Interpolation to add extract and add them to your String literal.
// Enter your code below
let firstValue = 7
let secondValue = 3
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
Hope this helps. Good Luck!
