I keep getting this error

File "testdb.py", line 51
    """, (''gas-stations'', business_nameg, business_address1g, business_cityg, business_stateg, business_zipcodeg, phone_number1g, website1g, website2g))  
          ^  
SyntaxError: invalid syntax  

any idea why?

By the way, the up arrow is pointing to website1g (the b character) .

Thanks for the help in advance
