Answer:
−4304
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The given determinant is :
[tex]\begin{vmatrix}7 &31 \\ 142& 14\end{vmatrix}[/tex]
We need to find its determinant . It can be solved as follows :
[tex]\begin{vmatrix}7 &31 \\ 142& 14\end{vmatrix}=7(14)-142(31)\\\\=-4304[/tex]
So, the value of determinant is equal to −4304.
