Question
For which value of $x,$ are the determinants $\left|\begin{array}{ll}2 x & -3 \\ 5 & x\end{array}\right|$ and $\left|\begin{array}{cc}10 & 1 \\ -3 & 2\end{array}\right|$ equal?

Answer

$\begin{array}{l}\text {Since, }\left|\begin{array}{cc}2 x & -3 \\ 5 & x\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{ll}10 & 1 \\ -3 & 2\end{array}\right| \end{array} $
$ \Rightarrow 2 x^2+15=20+3 $
$\Rightarrow 2 x^2=23-15=8  $
$ \Rightarrow x^2=4 $
$\Rightarrow x= \pm 2$
