.title{
  font-size: 26px;
}

h2{
  font-size: 53px;
}

.main-content {
  width: 75%;
}

I'll explain a little for you.

when selecting a class you select it with the . then the selector when selecting a id you want to use the # before your selector and finally if you're selecting a general element like an <h1> or a <h3> you can just type the selector as you did in the challenge.

Hope that helps ya :)
