If 1−34−5x+2241x−6=0 then x equals

A
17, 21
B
0, 19
C
0, 35
D
21, 35

Solution:

Using $R_{2} \to R_{2} + 5 R_{1}, R_{3} \to R_{3} - 4 R_{1}$

we get

$\begin{array}{l} |\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & - 3 & 4 \\ 0 & x - 13 & 22 \\ 0 & 13 & x - 22 \end{array}| = 0 \\ \Rightarrow (x - 13) (x - 22) - (13) (22) = 0 \\ \Rightarrow x (x - 35) = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0, 35 \end{array}$

If $|\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & - 3 & 4 \\ - 5 & x + 2 & 2 \\ 4 & 1 & x - 6 \end{array}| = 0$ then $x$ equals
