i don't know what to do

i forget how to do this thing... "Next, add the image 'mike.png' located inside the 'img' folder to the background. We only want Mike to appear once, so follow it with a property and value that will not repeat the image."

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Background Properties</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="box"></div>
</body>
</html>
style.css 
.box {
background-color: #387ABC;
background-repeat: repeat;  
  background-image:
}

I would also like to add that depending on the css file location the url can look like this: url('../img/mike.png'). In other words, you should check where files are located.

This first issue you need to correct is the task is not to repeat the image so you need to the no-repeat value so the image will not repeat, then you need to url value with the file path to the image you are trying to link to.

.box {
background-image: url('img/mike.png');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
