Solution

Explanation for the answer:

The determinant only exists for square matrices.

Every SQUARE matrix n×n has a determinant.
The determinant |A| of a square matrix A is a number that helps you to decide what kind of solutions a system can have unique, no solutions or an infinite number of solutions.
