Unexpected character after line continuation character

I keep getting an error message after print (time, \t, distance). Any suggestions? Thanks.
#Distance traveled challenge

def main():
# Get user input for speed in mph
speed = int (input('Enter speed traveled in mph:'))

# Get user input for hours traveled
time = int(input('Enter time traveled for trip in hours:'))

# Print the Header
print()
print('Hours \tDistance Traveled')
print('_________________________')

#for loop for display
for time in range (1, time + 1):
distance = time * speed
print (time, \t, distance)

#call main
main()

tab character is a string

Try it like this:
print (time, '\t', distance)
