Question
Without expanding, show that the values of the following determinant are zero:
$\begin{vmatrix}2&3&7\\13&17&5\\15&20&12 \end{vmatrix}$
✓

Answer

$\begin{vmatrix}2&3&7\\13&17&5\\15&20&12 \end{vmatrix}$
Use: $R_3 \rightarrow R_3-R_2$
$=\begin{vmatrix}2&3&7\\13&17&5\\2&3&7 \end{vmatrix}$
$=0$
$\because\text{R}_3=\text{R}_1$
