Let $A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & -1 & -2 \\ 0 & 2 & -1 \\ 3 & -5 & 0\end{array}\right]$

By expanding along the first column, we have:

$|A|=2\left|\begin{array}{cc}2 & -1 \\ -5 & 0\end{array}\right|-0\left|\begin{array}{cc}-1 & -2 \\ -5 & 0\end{array}\right|+3\left|\begin{array}{cc}-1 & -2 \\ 2 & -1\end{array}\right|$

$=2(0-5)-0+3(1+4)$

$=-10+15=5$
