Answer

$7$

Work Step by Step

By using the cofactor expansion along the first row: $det\begin{vmatrix} 1&1 &-1\\ 2&0 &1\\ 3&-2 &1 \end{vmatrix}$ $=+1\times det\begin{vmatrix} 0&1\\ -2&1 \end{vmatrix}-1\times det\begin{vmatrix} 2 &1\\ 3&1 \end{vmatrix}+(-1)\times det\begin{vmatrix} 2&0\\ 3&-2 \end{vmatrix}$ $=1(0+2)-1(2-3)-1(-4-0)$ $=2+1+4$ $=7$
