MCQ
If $\left|\begin{array}{cc}2 x & 5 \\ 8 & x\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}6 & -2 \\ 7 & 3\end{array}\right|$, then find the value of $x$.
  • A
    $\pm 2$
  • B
    $\pm 3$
  • C
    $\pm 6$
  • D
    $\pm 4$

Answer

$
\begin{array}{l}
\text { (c) : }\left|\begin{array}{cc}
2 x & 5 \\
8 & x
\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}
6 & -2 \\
7 & 3
\end{array}\right| \Rightarrow 2 x^2-40=18+14 \\
\Rightarrow x^2=36 \Rightarrow x= \pm 6
\end{array}
