A furniture factory makes wooden tables, chairs, and armoires. Each piece of furniture requires three operations:cutting the wood, assembling, and finishing. Each operation requires the number of hours (h) given in the table. The workers in the factory can provide 260 hours of cutting, 400 hours of assembling, and 570 hours of finishing each work week. How many tables, chairs, and armoires should be produced so that all available labor hours are used? Or is this impossible? (If not possible, enter IMPOSSIBLE.)
