math operator code challenge

I have completed the first two parts of this code challenge and am stuck now. I have not changed my task one that it is telling me is incorrect. What am I doing wrong here?

index.php
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
$integerOne += 5;
$integerTwo -= 1;
$floatOne = 1.5;

var_dump =($integerOne * $floatOne);
?>

$integerTwo = 2;
$integerOne += 5;
$integerTwo -= 1;
$floatOne = 1.5;

var_dump =($integerOne * $floatOne); 

//you cannot use var_dump, the way you have used, take off the equal symbol.
var_dump($integerOne * $floatOne); 

//now the code looks fine, but still you get a bummer to say, use echo, change it accordingly.
