Question

What’s the answer I need help pls? Can somebody give me the answer pls plssss?

Answer 1

The determinant of this matrix is

2(5) - (-7)(-2) = 10 - 14 = -4.

This matrix has an inverse, but there are some square matrices whose determinant is zero and therefore do not have an inverse. Abid's friend is correct. So a + b + c + d = 2 + (-7) + (-2) + 5 = -2.
