Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Declaration of HTML5 document type -->
<html>
<head>
<title>How to set the width of the left border</title><!-- Title of the HTML document -->
<style type="text/css">
/* CSS styling */
h1  {
border-style: solid; /* Sets the border style for h1 elements to solid */
border-left-width: 10px; /* Sets the width of the left border for h1 elements to 10 pixels */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>w3resource Tutorial</p><!-- Paragraph content -->
<h1>border left width</h1><!-- h1 element with a left border of specified width -->
<p><b>Note:</b> The "border-left-width" property does not work if it is used alone.</p><!-- Note regarding usage of "border-left-width" property -->
</body>
</html>

Explanation:

This HTML document demonstrates how to set the width of the left border for an h1 element.
The h1 elements have a common style with a solid border, and the width of the left border is set to 10 pixels.
A note is provided to indicate that the border-left-width property may not have an effect if used alone, as other border properties such as border-left-style and border-left-color are often required for a complete border definition.
