As it stands, you're using the wrong property name for your width property. Or, you could use the border-bottom shorthand method and set all three values at once. You're close, try it again!

You mistakenly are using the "border-bottom" shorthand in place of "border-bottom-width".

Shorthand for "border-bottom":

border-bottom: border-width border-style border-color;
