On the first task it simply states to delete "planned". You answered that correctly with the line del planned. The second task simply states that total equals current_count and upcoming_releases. You are simply stating in code that total is equal (=) to current_count (+) plus upcoming_releases. Your code should look like the following:

current_count = 14
planned = 5
upcoming_releases = 2
del planned
total = current_count + upcoming_releases
