Answer

$1$

Work Step by Step

Expansion down across first row: $\begin{align} \det A & = 3\begin{vmatrix}3&2\\5&-1\end{vmatrix}-0\begin{vmatrix}2&2\\0&-1\end{vmatrix}+4\begin{vmatrix}2&3\\0&5\end{vmatrix}\\ & = 3(-3-10)-0(-2-0)+4(10-0)\\ & = -39-0+40=1 \end{align}$ Expansion down second column: $\begin{align} \det A & = -0\begin{vmatrix}2&2\\0&-1\end{vmatrix}+3\begin{vmatrix}3&4\\0&-1\end{vmatrix}-5\begin{vmatrix}3&4\\2&2\end{vmatrix}\\ & = -0(-2-0)+3(-3-0)-5(6-8)\\ & = -0-9+10=1 \end{align}$
