det(\left(\begin{matrix}1&2&3\\0&5&-4\\2&8&x\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of diagonals.
\left(\begin{matrix}1&2&3&1&2\\0&5&-4&0&5\\2&8&x&2&8\end{matrix}\right)
Extend the original matrix by repeating the first two columns as the fourth and fifth columns.
5x+2\left(-4\right)\times 2=5x-16
Starting at the upper left entry, multiply down along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
2\times 5\times 3+8\left(-4\right)=-2
Starting at the lower left entry, multiply up along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
5x-16-\left(-2\right)
Subtract the sum of the upward diagonal products from the sum of the downward diagonal products.
5x-14

det(\left(\begin{matrix}1&2&3\\0&5&-4\\2&8&x\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of expansion by minors (also known as expansion by cofactors).
det(\left(\begin{matrix}5&-4\\8&x\end{matrix}\right))-2det(\left(\begin{matrix}0&-4\\2&x\end{matrix}\right))+3det(\left(\begin{matrix}0&5\\2&8\end{matrix}\right))
To expand by minors, multiply each element of the first row by its minor, which is the determinant of the 2\times 2 matrix created by deleting the row and column containing that element, then multiply by the element's position sign.
5x-8\left(-4\right)-2\left(-2\left(-4\right)\right)+3\left(-2\times 5\right)
For the 2\times 2 matrix \left(\begin{matrix}a&b\\c&d\end{matrix}\right), the determinant is ad-bc.
5x+32-2\times 8+3\left(-10\right)
Simplify.
5x-14
