Define Multiply

What am I doing wrong? When I run the code it works fine and spits out the expected values, but it's still wrong?

Program.cs 
using System;

class Program
{
    static double Multiply(double first, double second)
    {
     return first * second;
    }

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
Console.WriteLine(Multiply(2.5, 2));
                  Console.WriteLine(Multiply(6, 7));
    }

}

The instructions say to define a "function that accepts two parameters, multiplies them together, and passes the result to Console.WriteLine", but this function returns the result instead. Outputting in Main makes it look like it's doing the right thing, but it doesn't conform to the instructions.

The comments that were originally in the code also said "Remember to use the "static" and "void" keywords"
