$\left|\begin{array}{ccc}x & a & x+a \\ y & b & y+b \\ z & c & z+c\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}x & a & x \\ y & b & y \\ z & c & z\end{array}\right|+\left|\begin{array}{ccc}x & a & a \\ y & b & b \\ z & c & c\end{array}\right|$

Clearly, the two determinants have two identical columns. Thus,

$=0+0=0$
