Solution and Explanation

Matrix X is of the order 2 × n. 
Therefore, matrix 7X is also of the same order. 
Matrix Z is of the order 2 × p, i.e., 2 × n [Since n = p] 
Therefore, matrix 5Z is also of the same order. 
Now, both the matrices 7X and 5Z are of the order 2 × n. 

Thus, matrix 7X − 5Z is well-defined and is of the order 2 × n.
