### Matrix Multiplication Exercise

**Problem 1:**

Multiply the following matrices; if you can't multiply the matrices, then explain why.

#### A.

\[ 
\left( \begin{array}{ccc}
2 & -3 & 1 \\
0 & 4 & 2 \\
1 & 0 & -3 
\end{array} \right) 
\cdot 
\left( \begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 3 \\
-2 & 1 \\
0 & 5 
\end{array} \right) 
\]

#### B.

\[ 
\left( \begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 3 \\
-2 & 1 \\
0 & 5 
\end{array} \right) 
\cdot 
\left( \begin{array}{ccc}
2 & -3 & 1 \\
0 & 4 & 2 \\
1 & 0 & -3 
\end{array} \right) 
\]

### Instructions:

1. **Matrix Multiplication Rule**: To multiply two matrices, the number of columns in the first matrix must equal the number of rows in the second matrix.
2. **Procedure**: For valid matrices, calculate the product by taking the dot product of rows from the first matrix with columns from the second matrix.

### Solution Outline:

- **Matrix A** has dimensions \(3 \times 3\).
- **Matrix B** (first matrix in the second problem) has dimensions \(3 \times 2\) for the first matrix and \(3 \times 3\) for the second one.

- **Matrix Product**: 
  - Matrix A (3x3) and Matrix B (3x2) can be multiplied.
  - In the case of problem B, since the first matrix has dimensions of 3x2 and the second matrix is 3x3, the multiplication is not possible according to the multiplication rule.

### Calculation:

For **Problem A**:

\[ 
\left( \begin{array}{ccc}
2 & -3 & 1 \\
0 & 4 & 2 \\
1 & 0 & -3 
\end{array} \right) 
\cdot 
\left( \begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 3 \\
-2 & 1 \\
0 & 5 
\end
