Question
Solve the following determinant equations:
$\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}+\text{a}&\text{x}&\text{x}\\\text{x}&\text{x}+\text{a}&\text{x}\\\text{x}&\text{x}&\text{x}+\text{a}\end{vmatrix}=0,\text{a}\neq0$

Answer

Let $\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}+\text{a}&\text{x}&\text{x}\\\text{x}&\text{x}+\text{a}&\text{x}\\\text{x}&\text{x}&\text{x}+\text{a}\end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}3\text{x}+\text{a}&\text{x}&\text{x}\\3\text{x}+\text{a}&\text{x}+\text{a}&\text{x}\\3\text{x}+\text{a}&\text{x}&\text{x}+\text{a}\end{vmatrix} [$Applying $C_1 → C_1 + C_2 + C_3]$
$=(3\text{x}+\text{a})\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{x}&\text{x}\\1&\text{x}+\text{a}&\text{x}\\1&\text{x}&\text{x}+\text{a}\end{vmatrix}$
$=(3\text{x}+\text{a})\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{x}&\text{x}\\0&\text{a}&0\\1&\text{x}&\text{x}+\text{a}\end{vmatrix} [$Applying $R_2 → R_2 - R_1]$
$=(3\text{x}+\text{a})\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{x}&\text{x}\\0&\text{a}&0\\1&0&\text{a}\end{vmatrix} [$Applying $R_3 → R_3 - R_1]$
$=(3\text{x}+\text{a})=(\text{a}^2-0)=0$
$\text{x}=\frac{-\text{a}}{3}$
