what in the world do the errors mean

pls help

Answer 1

well just found out the second error so just answer the first one

Answer 2

You can't set perform operations like setting an int equal to itself + some other number in a cout. That's like saying `cout << "First week economics: " << Money = Money + 12500 << endl;`, which is not allowed.

Instead, do

```c++

Money += 12500;

cout << "First week economics: " << Money <<  endl;

```
