Question
If $\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}+1&\text{x}-1\\\text{x}-3&\text{x}+2\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}4&-1\\1&3\end{vmatrix},$ then write the value of $x.$

Answer

$\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}+1&\text{x}-1\\\text{x}-3&\text{x}+2\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}4&-1\\1&3\end{vmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow (x + 1)(x + 2) - (x - 1)(x - 3) = 12 + 1$
$\Rightarrow x^2 + 3x + 2 - x^2 + 4x - 3 = 13$
$\Rightarrow 7x - 1 = 13$
$\Rightarrow 7x = 14$
$\Rightarrow x = 2$
Hence, the value of $x$ is $2$
