Answer
$\begin{vmatrix}2\text{x}+5&3\\5\text{x}+2&9\end{vmatrix}=0$
$\Rightarrow9(2\text{x}+5)-3(5\text{x}+2)=0$
$\Rightarrow18\text{x}+45-15\text{x}-6=0$
$\Rightarrow3\text{x}+39=0$
$\Rightarrow3\text{x}=-39$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{-39}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=-13$
$\Rightarrow9(2\text{x}+5)-3(5\text{x}+2)=0$
$\Rightarrow18\text{x}+45-15\text{x}-6=0$
$\Rightarrow3\text{x}+39=0$
$\Rightarrow3\text{x}=-39$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{-39}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=-13$
