Question
Find the value of x, if:
$\begin{vmatrix}2&4\\5&1\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}2\text{x}&4\\6&\text{x}\end{vmatrix}$
✓

Answer

Given, $\begin{vmatrix}2&4\\5&1\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}2\text{x}&4\\6&\text{x}\end{vmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow2-20=2\text{x}^2-24$
$\Rightarrow-18=2\text{x}^2-24$
$\Rightarrow2\text{x}=6$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2=3$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\pm\sqrt{3}$
