Evaluate $\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{lll}3 & 2 & 3 \\ 2 & 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 2 & 3\end{array}\right|$

$\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}5&3&{ - 1}\\{ - 7}&x&{ - 3}\\9&6&{ - 2}\end{array}\,} \right| = 0$, then $ x$ is equal to

The remainder when the determinant $\left|\begin{array}{lll} 2014^{2014} & 2015^{2015} & 2016^{2016} \\ 2017^{2017} & 2018^{2018} & 2019^{2019} \\ 2020^{2020} & 2021^{2021} & 2022^{2022} \end{array}\right|$  is divided by $5$ is

The number of values of $\alpha$ for which the system of equations:   $x+y+z=\alpha$ ;  $\alpha x+2 \alpha y+3 z=-1$ ;  $x+3 \alpha y+5 z=4$    is inconsistent, is

The value of $'a'$ for which the system of equation  $a^3x + (a + 1)^3y + (a + 2)^3 z = 0$ ; $ax + (a + 1)y + (a + 2)z = 0$ ; $x + y + z = 0$  has a non-zero solution is :-

If $\left|\begin{array}{cc}x & 2 \\ 18 & x\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}6 & 2 \\ 18 & 6\end{array}\right|,$ then $x$ is equal to
