use a + to insert the variable?

24,174 PointsThe answer wasn't explicit, but the MDN makes it clear that the syntax Osama used is required (including the dollar sign and curly braces).
From the MDN on Template Literals
`string text`
`string text line 1
string text line 2`
`string text ${expression} string text`
tag `string text ${expression} string text`
And
Template literals can contain place holders. These are indicated by the Dollar sign and curly braces (${expression}).

Treehouse Guest TeacherHi nathanielcusano,
Did Osama answer your question? Or do you still need help? If you still have questions, please provide a bit of code demonstrating your question, and I will try to help clarify.
Thanks, Joel
