Let $A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3 & -4 & 5 \\ 1 & 1 & -2 \\ 2 & 3 & 1\end{array}\right]$

By expanding along the first row, we have:

$|A| = 3\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  1&{ - 2} \\ 
  3&1 
\end{array}} \right| + 4\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  1&{ - 2} \\ 
  2&1 
\end{array}} \right| + 5\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  1&1 \\ 
  2&3 
\end{array}} \right|$

$ = 3(1 + 6) + 4(1 + 4) + 5(3 - 2)$

$ = 3(7) + 4(5) + 5(1)$

$ = 21 + 20 + 5 = 46$
