Can someone guide me as to why I cannot solve a matrix symbolically?

I have attached a file, that needs to be solved in terms of q1, q2, and q3.

Thanks

What do you mean by "solve a matrix"? You can't solve a matrix, you rather can solve an equation for a given variable.

Its unclear to me upon looking at your sheet what you are trying to do and which equation you would like to solve for which variables.

I have attached a file, that needs to be solved in terms of q1, q2, and q3.

Which equation(s) do you want to be solved and which variables should be expressed in terms of q1,2,c? (I don't see any c.3 in your sheet)

If you are after something like the following, simply leave q1,2,c undefined:

You could also use the symbolic "solve" to do the job:
