Solve the matrix equation for the unknown matrix X. (If not possible, enter IMPOSSIBLE in any cell of the matrix.) $A = \begin{bmatrix} 6 & 7\\ 2 & 10 \end{bmatrix}$ $B = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 2\\ 8 & 9 \end{bmatrix}$ $C = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 6\\ 8 & 7 \end{bmatrix}$ $D = \begin{bmatrix} 30 & 20\\ 20 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ $2A = B - 3X$ $X = \begin{bmatrix} \\\\ \\ \end{bmatrix}$

Step 1
An equation for a matrix is not possible if the number of unknowns is not equal to the number of equations. In other words, if the matrix is underdetermined or overdetermined, there is no unique solution. Show more…
