Task two in the Challenge Tasks fails to pass during task three despite using identical code

Task Three: Create a new float with a value of 1.5 // $floatOne = 1.5; After adding 5 to $integerOne and without making any further changes to $integerOne or $floatOne, multiply $integerOne by $floatOne and display the new value. // $integerOne = $integerOne + 5; // $integerOne = $integerOne * $floatOne; // echo $integerOne;

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;

$integerOne = $integerOne + 5;
$integerTwo = $integerTwo - 1;

$floatOne = 1.5;

$integerOne = $integerOne * $floatOne;
echo $integerOne


?>

You are changing $integerOne at the end which it says you shouldn't do.

Here is how I did it:

<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo  = 2;

//if you did not know the += is basically saying this: $integerOne = $integerOne + 5; and the same for the -=
$integerOne += 5;
$integerTwo  -= 1;

$floatOne = 1.5;

$result = $integerOne * $floatOne;

echo $result;

?>
