C# C# Basics Methods Method Parameters

Need Help! Define a Multiply Function

Need help finding out why this isn't going through. It says it isn't passing but has correct output to console.

Program.cs
using System;

class Program
{
    static double Multiply(double firstParameter, double secondParameter)
    {
    return firstParameter * secondParameter;
    }
    // YOUR CODE HERE: Define a method named Multiply. Remember
    // to use the "static" and "void" keywords: "static void
    // Multiply" (without quotes). Multiply should take two
    // "double" values as parameters.

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

}

The instructions say the Multiply method "accepts two parameters, multiplies them together, and passes the result to Console.WriteLine." They also say "Use the static and void keywords in the method definition.", but the code here is returning double instead of void.

So the output should be done inside the Multiply method, and the Main method should only do two calls.
