Question
Solve the following determinant equations:
$\begin{vmatrix}15-2\text{x}&11-3\text{x}&7-\text{x}\\11&17&14\\10&16&13\end{vmatrix}=0$

Answer

Let $\begin{vmatrix}15-2\text{x}&11-3\text{x}&7-\text{x}\\11&17&14\\10&16&13\end{vmatrix}=0$
$\Rightarrow\begin{vmatrix}15-2\text{x}-14+2\text{x}&11-3\text{x}&7-\text{x}\\11-28&17&14\\10-26&16&13\end{vmatrix}=0$ [Applying $C_1 \rightarrow C_1 - 2C_3$]
$\Rightarrow\begin{vmatrix}1&11-3\text{x}&7-\text{x}\\-17&17&14\\-16&16&13\end{vmatrix}=0$
$\Rightarrow\begin{vmatrix}12-3\text{x}&4-2\text{x}&7-\text{x}\\0&3&14\\0&3&13\end{vmatrix}=0$ [Applying $C_1 \rightarrow C_1 + C_2$ and $C_2 \rightarrow C_2 - C_3$]
$\Rightarrow(12-3\text{x})((3)\times13-(3\times14))=0$
$\Rightarrow(12-3\text{x})(-3)=0$
$\Rightarrow12-3\text{x}=0$
$\Rightarrow3\text{x}=12$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=4$
