Based on your post,  I only can guess what do you need.

If you need to calculate the determinant,  apply co-factoring the determinant along the first column.

See the lesson
    - Co-factoring the determinant of a 3x3 matrix
in this site,  where co-factoring along the first row was described.

Co-factoring along the first column works in the same way.
