Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Declaration specifying the document type -->
<html><!-- Opening tag for the root element of the HTML document -->
<head><!-- Opening tag for the document's header section -->
<meta charset="utf-8"><!-- Metadata tag specifying the character encoding of the document -->
<title>How to specify the width of an image</title><!-- Title of the HTML document -->
</head><!-- Closing tag for the document's header section -->
<body><!-- Opening tag for the document's body section -->
<p><!-- Opening tag for a paragraph element -->
<img <!-- Image element specifying the source URL of the image, alternate text, and dimensions -->
src="https://www.w3resource.com/images/layout.gif" <!-- Source URL of the image -->
alt="html img tag example" <!-- Alternate text for the image -->
width="300" height="200"><!-- Dimensions of the image (300 pixels width and 200 pixels height) -->
</p><!-- Closing tag for the paragraph element -->
</body><!-- Closing tag for the document's body section -->
</html><!-- Closing tag for the root element of the HTML document -->

Explanation:

This HTML code demonstrates how to specify the width of an image using the width attribute within the <img> element.
The <img> element is a self-closing tag used to embed images into an HTML document.
The src attribute specifies the URL of the image to be displayed. In this example, it points to "https://www.w3resource.com/images/layout.gif".
The alt attribute provides alternate text for the image, which is displayed if the image cannot be loaded or for accessibility purposes. In this case, it is set to "html img tag example".
The width attribute specifies the width of the image. In this example, it is set to 300 pixels.
The height attribute specifies the height of the image. In this example, it is set to 200 pixels.
When the HTML document is rendered, the browser displays the image with the specified dimensions.
