If begin vmatrix 5 amp 3 x amp 2 end vmatrix be... - JAMB Mathematics 2012 Question
If \(\begin{vmatrix} 5 & 3 \ x & 2 \end{vmatrix}\) = \(\begin{vmatrix} 3 & 5 \ 4 & 5 \end{vmatrix}\), find the value of x
A
3
B
4
C
5
D
7
correct option: c
\(\begin{vmatrix} 5 & 3 \ x & 2 \end{vmatrix}\) = \(\begin{vmatrix} 3 & 5 \ 4 & 5 \end{vmatrix}\)
10 - 3x = 15 - 20
-3x = 15 - 20 - 10
-3x = -15
x = 5
10 - 3x = 15 - 20
-3x = 15 - 20 - 10
-3x = -15
x = 5
