Answer

$165$.

Work Step by Step

The given matrix is $\begin{vmatrix} 8&2 &-1 \\ 3 & 0 & 5\\ 6 & -3 & 4 \end{vmatrix}$ The minors for the first column is For $8$ the minor is $\begin{vmatrix} 0 &5 \\ -3 & 4 \end{vmatrix}$ For $3$ the minor is $\begin{vmatrix} 2 &-1\\ -3 & 4 \end{vmatrix}$ For $6$ the minor is $\begin{vmatrix} 2 &-1\\ 0 & 5 \end{vmatrix}$ Multiply each numerical factors of the column with corresponding minors as shown below. $8\begin{vmatrix} 0 &5\\ -3 & 4 \end{vmatrix},3\begin{vmatrix} 2 &-1\\ -3 & 4 \end{vmatrix},6\begin{vmatrix} 2 &-1\\ 0 & 5 \end{vmatrix}$. Now add all three terms by changing the sign of the second term. $=8\begin{vmatrix} 0 &5\\ -3 & 4 \end{vmatrix}-3\begin{vmatrix} 2 &-1\\ -3 & 4 \end{vmatrix}+6\begin{vmatrix} 2 &-1\\ 0 & 5 \end{vmatrix}$. Simplify. $=8[(0)(4)-(-3)(5)]-3[(2)(4)-(-3)(-1)]+6[(2)(5)-(0)(-1)]$ Clear the parentheses. $=8[0+15]-3[8-3]+6[10+0]$ Add like terms. $=8[15]-3[5]+6[10]$ $=120-15+60$ $=120-15+60$ $=165$.
