Hi,
See the attachment. I'm trying to calculate a determinant of a matrix using two different methods. First by cofactor expansion, and second by elementary row/column operations producing an upper triangle matrix (solving then by the product of the main diagonal).
I know the answer is 2, which I got correct using cofactor expansion, but when I try using row operations I get -4 (which is wrong). Shouldn't I get the same answer regardless of the method I use? I must not be doing the row operations correctly or my arithmetic is off?
Thank you for the help

Thanks! I see how you got 2 now, but I'm still confused on why my row operations didn't work. Is it because I can't simply add two rows? I have to add using a multiple of a row?
Thank again.
