Hey there,

img is a tag so you have to make sure to put it inside of angle brackets. Besides that you don't have to separate img from its attributes with an equal sign but with a space. However you have to separate the attributes, like src for example, from its values with an equal sign and make sure to put the value inside of quotes. Also note that you have to add the alt attribute.

Like so:

      <ul>
        <li><img src="numbers-01.jpg" alt=""></li>
        <li><img src="numbers-02.jpg" alt=""></li>
        <li><img src="numbers-06.jpg" alt=""></li>
      </ul>

I hope that helps, if you have further questions feel free to ask! :)
