I have



$$left|beginarrayccc
x & -2 & 3x-6 \
2x & phantom-0 & 2-x \
-x & phantom-5 & x-2
endarrayright| = 0$$



How can I solve this with a fast way? I thought I can do
$$x-2+3x-6=0 implies 4x=-8 implies x=-2$$
and I will continue with the other two, but I don't know if I am right.

          Elements of the first column are all multiples of $x$; elements in the third column are all multiples of $x-2$. You can factor the determinant thusly:



          $$0 = left|beginarrayccc
          phantom-x & -2 & 3x-6 \
          2x & phantom-0 & 2-x \
          -x & phantom-5 & x-2
          endarrayright| =
          x(x-2) left|beginarrayccc
          phantom-1 & -2 & phantom-3 \
          phantom-2& phantom-0 & -1 \
          -1& phantom-5 & phantom-1
          endarrayright| =
          37x(x-2) quadimpliesquad x=0,2$$




          To add a bit of detail ...



          Determinant rules allow you to factor-out common multipliers from an individual colunmn (or row):



          $$left|beginarrayccc
          pa & b & c \
          pd & e & f \
          ph & i & j
          endarrayright| ;=; pleft|beginarrayccc
          a & b & c \
          d & e & f \
          h & i & j
          endarrayright|$$



          The justification is immediately clear if you're familiar with the relationship between a determinant and the volume of the parallelepiped determined by the column vectors. But it also makes sense if you pay attention to how determinants are expanded. Here's a quick example with a $2times 2$:



          $$left|beginarraycc pa & b \ pc & d endarrayright| = pacdot d -pccdot b = p(ad-cb) = pleft|beginarraycc a & b \ c & d endarrayright|$$
          Every term in the expansion includes the multiplier, which can be factored-out.



          Anyway ... For the problem in question, I factored-out $x$ and $x-2$ from the first and third columns. Then I calculated the value of the remaining determinant (just to make sure it wasn't zero, in which case $x$ could be anything).

          • @m.s: The link shows how to expand a $3times 3$ determinant, so it's helpful. If you use it on the original determinant in the problem, you could find yourself multiplying-out a bunch of terms that you'll then have to factor. My solution saves a lot of that effort by factoring-out common multipliers first. (This isn't always possible. It just so happens that the problem allows for it.) To get that the remaining numbers-only determinant has value $37$, use the technique described in that CoolMath link.

          This is wrong:
          $$x-2+3x-6=0 implies 4x=-8 implies x=-2 $$




          This is the right way to do it
          $$left|beginarrayccc
          x & -2 & 3x-6 \
          2x & phantom-0 & 2-x \
          -x & phantom-5 & x-2
          endarrayright| = 0$$



          Apply $R3 rightarrow R3+R1$
          $$left|beginarrayccc
          x & -2 & 3x-6 \
          2x & phantom-0 & 2-x \
          0 & phantom-3 & 4x-8
          endarrayright| = 0$$



          Apply $R2rightarrow R2-2R1$
          $$left|beginarrayccc
          x & -2 & 3x-6 \
          0 & phantom-4 & 14-7x \
          0 & phantom-3 & 4x-8
          endarrayright| = 0$$



          $$xleft( 4(4x-8)-3(14-7x)right)=0$$
          $$37x(x-2)=0 implies x=0,2$$

          You can also use the Laplace formula on the second column and get



          $$beginvmatrix
          x & -2 & 3x-6 \
          2x & 0 & 2-x \
          -x & 5 & x-2
          endvmatrix = 2 beginvmatrix 2x & 2-x \ -x & x-2 endvmatrix - 5 beginvmatrix x & 3x-6 \ 2x & 2-x endvmatrix=37x(x-2) $$



          Hence $x in 0,2$.

            The justification is immediately clear if you're familiar with the relationship between a determinant and the volume of the parallelepiped determined by the column vectors. But it also makes sense if you pay attention to how determinants are expanded. Here's a quick example with a $2times 2$:



            $$left|beginarraycc pa & b \ pc & d endarrayright| = pacdot d -pccdot b = p(ad-cb) = pleft|beginarraycc a & b \ c & d endarrayright|$$
            Every term in the expansion includes the multiplier, which can be factored-out.



            Anyway ... For the problem in question, I factored-out $x$ and $x-2$ from the first and third columns. Then I calculated the value of the remaining determinant (just to make sure it wasn't zero, in which case $x$ could be anything).

            Elements of the first column are all multiples of $x$; elements in the third column are all multiples of $x-2$. You can factor the determinant thusly:



            $$0 = left|beginarrayccc
            phantom-x & -2 & 3x-6 \
            2x & phantom-0 & 2-x \
            -x & phantom-5 & x-2
            endarrayright| =
            x(x-2) left|beginarrayccc
            phantom-1 & -2 & phantom-3 \
            phantom-2& phantom-0 & -1 \
            -1& phantom-5 & phantom-1
            endarrayright| =
            37x(x-2) quadimpliesquad x=0,2$$




            To add a bit of detail ...



            Determinant rules allow you to factor-out common multipliers from an individual colunmn (or row):



            $$left|beginarrayccc
            pa & b & c \
            pd & e & f \
            ph & i & j
            endarrayright| ;=; pleft|beginarrayccc
            a & b & c \
            d & e & f \
            h & i & j
            endarrayright|$$

            • @m.s: The link shows how to expand a $3times 3$ determinant, so it's helpful. If you use it on the original determinant in the problem, you could find yourself multiplying-out a bunch of terms that you'll then have to factor. My solution saves a lot of that effort by factoring-out common multipliers first. (This isn't always possible. It just so happens that the problem allows for it.) To get that the remaining numbers-only determinant has value $37$, use the technique described in that CoolMath link.

            You can also use the Laplace formula on the second column and get



            $$beginvmatrix
            x & -2 & 3x-6 \
            2x & 0 & 2-x \
            -x & 5 & x-2
            endvmatrix = 2 beginvmatrix 2x & 2-x \ -x & x-2 endvmatrix - 5 beginvmatrix x & 3x-6 \ 2x & 2-x endvmatrix=37x(x-2) $$



            Hence $x in 0,2$.
