Kit, you forgot your dash in border width. It should be border-width. Here is the final code:

  .main-pg {
    border: solid red;
    border-width: 4px;
}

You can set border width in two ways:

  1. Using the "border-width" property. But specifying only this property will not work alone you need to specify the border-color and border-style property.
  2. The "border" shorthand property which allows you to specify border properties in one single property. Syntax: border: border-width border-style border-color;

I recommend using the shorthand property instead of specifying each property on different lines.
