Question
Choose the correct answer from given four options in each of the Exercise:
If $\begin{vmatrix}2\text{x}&5\\8&\text{x}\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}6&-2\\7&3\end{vmatrix},$ then value of x is:
  1. 3
  2. ±3
  3. ±6
  4. 6

Answer

  1. ±6
Solution:
We have, $\begin{vmatrix}2\text{x}&5\\8&\text{x}\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}6&-2\\7&3\end{vmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\ 2\text{x}^2-40=18+17$
$\Rightarrow\ 2\text{x}^2=32+40$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}^2=\frac{72}{2}=36$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}^2=36$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}=\pm6$
