Here's what I get.

Explanation:

Step 1. Draw a continuous chain of seven carbon atoms

7C

Step 2. Add two ethyl groups to #"C3"#

Et2

Step 3. Add a methyl group to #"C4"#

4Me

And you have your bond-line structure.

Here's one way to write the condensed structure:

#"CH"_3"CH"_2"CH"_2"CH"("CH"_3)"C"("CH"_2"CH"_3)_3#
