If \(\left|\begin{array}{cc}3 x & 7 \\ 4 & x\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}6 & -2 \\ 4 & 2\end{array}\right|\), then the value of \(x\) is :

  1. A \(\pm 6\)
  2. B \(\pm 4\)
  3. C \(4 \sqrt{2}\)
  4. D \(4 \sqrt{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\pm 4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(3x(x) - 7(4) = 6(2) - (-2)(4)\) \(3x^2 - 28 = 12 + 8\) \(3x^2 - 28 = 20\) \(3x^2 = 48\) \(x^2 = 16\) \(x = \pm 4\)
