Answer

$$166$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \left| {\matrix{ {10} & 2 & 1 \cr { - 1} & 4 & 3 \cr { - 3} & 8 & {10} \cr } } \right| \cr & {\rm{Calculating\, the\, determinant\, by\, expanding\, the \,second\, row}} \cr & \left| {\matrix{ {10} & 2 & 1 \cr { - 1} & 4 & 3 \cr { - 3} & 8 & {10} \cr } } \right| = 1\left| {\matrix{ 2 & 1 \cr 8 & {10} \cr } } \right| + 4\left| {\matrix{ {10} & 1 \cr { - 3} & {10} \cr } } \right| - 3\left| {\matrix{ {10} & 2 \cr { - 3} & 8 \cr } } \right| \cr & {\rm{Solving}} \cr & \left| {\matrix{ {10} & 2 & 1 \cr { - 1} & 4 & 3 \cr { - 3} & 8 & {10} \cr } } \right| = \left( {20 - 8} \right) + 4\left( {100 + 3} \right) - 3\left( {80 + 6} \right) \cr & {\rm{Simplifying}} \cr & \left| {\matrix{ {10} & 2 & 1 \cr { - 1} & 4 & 3 \cr { - 3} & 8 & {10} \cr } } \right| = 166 \cr} $$
