Read your book my friend... If $A$ is invertible, then $X=A^{-1}B$. Assume that you want to calculate $X$ with $3$ significant digits (denoted by s.d.); since $B$ is also known with $3$ s.d., it suffices to calculate $A^{-1}$ with $3$ s.d.. Assume that $A$ is known with $k$ s.d.; since $cond(A)\approx 10^{26}$, $A^{-1}$ is known with $k-26$ s.d. and finally, the required condition (about $k$) is $k\geq 29$. It seems that you know only $3$ s.d. of $A$; then you cannot do it (as Obama).
