Question
Find the value of x, if:
$\begin{vmatrix}2&3\\4&5\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}&3\\2\text{x}&5\end{vmatrix}$

Answer

Given, $\begin{vmatrix}2&3\\4&5\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}&3\\2\text{x}&5\end{vmatrix}$$\Rightarrow2\times5-3\times4=\text{x}\times5-3\times2\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow10-12=5\text{x}-6\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow-2=-\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=2$
