The problem involves solving for matrix \( X \) in the given matrix equation:

\[
\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -6 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} X = \begin{bmatrix} -3 & 5 \\ -5 & 2 \end{bmatrix}
\]

Matrix \( X \) is likely a \( 2 \times 2 \) matrix (as indicated by the empty boxes), and we need to solve for it. Let \( X = \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix} \), and substitute into the equation to get:

\[
\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -6 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -3 & 5 \\ -5 & 2 \end{bmatrix}
\]

Performing the matrix multiplication on the left-hand side:

\[
\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -6 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} a - 6c & b - 6d \\ c & d \end{bmatrix}
\]

Now, set this equal to the matrix on the right-hand side:

\[
\begin{bmatrix} a - 6c & b - 6d \\ c & d \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -3 & 5 \\ -5 & 2 \end{bmatrix}
\]

From this, we get the following system of equations:

1. \( a - 6c = -3 \)
2. \( b - 6d = 5 \)
3. \( c = -5 \)
4. \( d = 2 \)

Substitute \( c = -5 \) and \( d = 2 \) into the first two equations:

1. \( a - 6(-5) = -3 \implies a + 30 = -3 \implies a = -33 \)
2. \( b - 6(2) = 5 \implies b - 12 = 5 \implies b = 17 \)

Thus, the matrix \( X \) is:

\[
X = \begin{bmatrix} -33 & 17 \\ -5 & 2 \end{bmatrix}
\]
