**Solve the Matrix Equation**

We are tasked with solving the matrix equation \(AX = B\) for \(X\).

**Matrix A:**
\[
A = \begin{bmatrix} 
1 & -2 & -3 \\ 
-1 & 4 & 6 \\ 
1 & -1 & -2 
\end{bmatrix}
\]

**Matrix B:**
\[
B = \begin{bmatrix} 
3 \\ 
6 \\ 
7 
\end{bmatrix}
\]

**Matrix X:**
\[ 
X = \begin{bmatrix} 
\Box \\ 
\Box \\ 
\Box 
\end{bmatrix}
\]

To find \(X\), we need to solve the system of linear equations represented by the matrix equation \(AX = B\). This involves finding the inverse of matrix \(A\) if it exists, and then calculating \(X = A^{-1}B\). 

Follow these steps to solve the equation:

1. **Check if the determinant of \(A\) is non-zero to ensure the inverse exists.**
2. **Calculate the inverse \(A^{-1}\).**
3. **Multiply \(A^{-1}\) by \(B\) to find \(X\).**

Enter the values of \(X\) in the boxes provided after calculating.
