Python GUI writing to a file

I am have a problem trying to get this function to work properly. I need it to write to a text file that includes "First Name: " , then add the input from the entry field at the end of "First Name: ".

def _NameEntry(self):
        open("Results.txt", "w").close()
        first = self._firstNameEntry.get()
        with open("../Results.txt", "a") as the_file:
            the_file.write("First Name: ", + first)

But when I use this function it errors this:

"the_file.write("First Name: ", + first) TypeError: bad operand type for unary +: 'str'"

If I get rid of the ("First Name: ", +), then it will write the entry field to the text file, whatever the value is.

You have an error in your Syntax.
It should be:

the_file.write("First Name: " + first)
