Question
Solve the following determinant equations:
$\begin{vmatrix}1&1&\text{x}\\\text{p}+1&\text{p}+1&\text{p}+\text{x}\\3&\text{x}+1&\text{x}+2\end{vmatrix}=0$

Answer

Let $\begin{vmatrix}1&1&\text{x}\\\text{p}+1&\text{p}+1&\text{p}+\text{x}\\3&\text{x}+1&\text{x}+2\end{vmatrix}=0$
$=\begin{vmatrix}1&1&\text{x}\\\text{p}&\text{p}&\text{p}\\3&\text{x}+1&\text{x}+2\end{vmatrix}$ [Applying $R_2\rightarrow R_2 - R_1]$
$=\text{p}\begin{vmatrix}1&1&\text{x}\\1&1&1\\3&\text{x}+1&\text{x}+2\end{vmatrix}$
$=\text{p}\begin{vmatrix}1&1&\text{x}\\1&1&1\\2&\text{x}&2\end{vmatrix}$
$=\text{p}\begin{vmatrix}0&1&\text{x}\\0&1&1\\2-\text{x}&\text{x}&2\end{vmatrix}$ [Applying $C_1 \rightarrow C_2 - C_1]$
$=\text{p}\left\{(2-\text{x})\times\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{x}\\1&1 \end{vmatrix}\right\}$ [Expanding along $C_1]$
$=\text{p}(2-\text{x})(1-\text{x})=0$
$\text{x}=1,2$
