The "width" property is misplaced and looks like it's the value for the "display" property. It needs to start the line that has its value:

  width: 120px;

Then the "display" property needs to have the correct value: The instructions say to "apply a display value that will place these list items side-by-side". So what value would allow the items to exist on the same line but also allow you specify a specific width? Hint: the value name combines two other commonly used display values.

Also, I recall that you gave this previous question the same title as this one a few years ago. Did the answer I gave then help you to resolve that issue? You can mark a question solved by choosing a "best answer".
