{\text{So on comparing we get }}a = 1,b = - 3,c = 4,d = 3,e = 5,f = - 3,g = 2,h = - 5{\text{ and }}i = 0 \\
{\text{Now putting values of }}a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h{\text{ and }}i{\text{ in equation 3 we get,}} \\
\Rightarrow \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
1&{ - 3}&4 \\
3&5&{ - 3} \\
2&{ - 5}&0
\end{array}} \right|{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}1\left( {5*0 - ( - 5)*( - 3)} \right) + 3\left( {3*0 - 2*( - 3)} \right) + 4\left( {3*( - 5) - 2*5} \right) \\
