$X\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 &3 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -7 & -8 & -9\\ 2 &4 & 6 \end{bmatrix}$

The matrix given on R.H.S is $2\times 3$ matrix and on LH.S is $2\times 3$ matrix.Therefore, X has to be $2\times 2$ matrix.

Let X be $\begin{bmatrix} a & c\\ b & d \end{bmatrix}$

$\begin{bmatrix} a & c\\ b & d \end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 &3 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -7 & -8 & -9\\ 2 &4 & 6 \end{bmatrix}$

$\begin{bmatrix} a+4c & 2a+5c &3a+6c \\ b+4d & 2b+5d & 3b+6d \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -7 & -8 & -9\\ 2 &4 & 6 \end{bmatrix}$

$a+4c=-7$ $2a+5c=-8$ $3a+6c=-9$

$b+4d=2$ $2b+5d=4$ $3b+6d=6$

Taking, $a+4c=-7$

$a=-4c-7$

$2a+5c=-8$

$-8c-14+5c=-8$

$-3c=6$

$c=-2$

$a=-4\times -2-7$

$a=8-7=1$

$b+4d=2$

$b=-4d+2$

$2b+5d=4$

$\Rightarrow$ $-8d+4+5d=4$

$\Rightarrow -3d=0$

$\Rightarrow d=0$

$b=-4d+2$

$\Rightarrow b=-4\times 0+2=2$

Hence, we have $a=1, b=2,c=-2,d=0$

Matrix X is $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2\\ 2 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ .
