Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the Determinant of a 3x3 Matrix

If you have the general 3x3 matrix:

the determinant is:

Which further breaks down to:

Note: , and are determinants themselves.
If you need help finding the determinant of 2x2 matrices (which is required to find the determinant of 3x3 matrices), check out this solver

--------------------------------------------------------------

From the matrix , we can see that , , , , , , , , and

Start with the general 3x3 determinant.

Plug in the given values (see above)

Multiply
