The image contains a matrix problem that involves calculating the determinant of a modified matrix, given the determinant of an initial 4x4 matrix. The problem starts with the condition:

\[
\text{det} \begin{vmatrix} 
a & b & c & d \\ 
e & f & g & h \\ 
i & j & k & l \\ 
m & n & o & p 
\end{vmatrix} = 10
\]

We are asked to find the determinant of the modified matrix, which is shown as:

\[
\text{det} \begin{vmatrix} 
a + m & 3b + 3n & c + o & 2d + 2e \\ 
e & 3f & g & 2h \\ 
i & 3j & k & 2l \\ 
m & 3n & o & 2p 
\end{vmatrix}
\]

To solve this, note that the structure of the second matrix involves linear combinations of rows from the first matrix. Specifically, the first row of the modified matrix is a combination of the first and fourth rows from the original matrix, and the same applies to other rows.

The determinant can be computed by utilizing the properties of determinants under row operations and linear combinations.
