The image shows some algebraic and matrix problems related to operations on matrices. I will go over the visible problems one by one and provide a solution or explanation.

### Problem 4:
This involves solving a system of linear equations given in matrix form.

#### 4a. Given the matrices \( M = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 5 & 3 \end{pmatrix} \) and \( N = \begin{pmatrix} 4 & -8 \\ -3 & 2 \end{pmatrix} \), find a matrix \( S = \begin{pmatrix} c & d \\ e & f \end{pmatrix} \) that satisfies the equation \( M \cdot S = N \).

This is a matrix equation \( M \cdot S = N \), which can be written as:

\[
\begin{pmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 5 & 3 \end{pmatrix} \cdot \begin{pmatrix} c & d \\ e & f \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 4 & -8 \\ -3 & 2 \end{pmatrix}
\]

Multiplying the matrices on the left side:

\[
\begin{pmatrix} 2c + e & 2d + f \\ 5c + 3e & 5d + 3f \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 4 & -8 \\ -3 & 2 \end{pmatrix}
\]

Now, we equate the corresponding elements to get a system of equations:
1. \( 2c + e = 4 \)
2. \( 2d + f = -8 \)
3. \( 5c + 3e = -3 \)
4. \( 5d + 3f = 2 \)

We can solve these equations to find the values of \( c, d, e, f \).

#### Solving the system of equations:
From equation (1): \( 2c + e = 4 \Rightarrow e = 4 - 2c \).

Substitute \( e = 4 - 2c \) into equation (3):
\[
5c + 3(4 - 2c) = -3
\]
\[
5c + 12 - 6c = -3
\]
\[
-c + 12 = -3 \Rightarrow c = 15
\]

Now, substitute \( c = 15 \) back into equation (1):
\[
2(15) + e = 4 \Rightarrow 30 + e = 4 \Rightarrow e = -26
\]

Now for \( d \) and \( f \), from equation (2): \( 2d + f = -8 \Rightarrow f = -8 - 2d \).

Substitute \( f = -8 - 2d \) into equation (4):
\[
5d + 3(-8 - 2d) = 2
\]
\[
5d - 24 - 6d = 2
\]
\[
-d - 24 = 2 \Rightarrow d = -26
\]

Substitute \( d = -26 \) into equation (2):
\[
2(-26) + f = -8 \Rightarrow -52 + f = -8 \Rightarrow f = 44
\]

Thus, the matrix \( S \) is:

\[
S = \begin{pmatrix} 15 & -26 \\ -26 & 44 \end{pmatrix}
\]

### Problem 5:
Calculate the determinant of a 3x3 matrix:

\[
\text{Given:} A = \begin{pmatrix} x-2 & 1 & 5 \\ -1 & -2 & 2 \\ 2x-4 & 2 & 2 \end{pmatrix}
\]

The determinant of a 3x3 matrix \( A = \begin{pmatrix} a & b & c \\ d & e & f \\ g & h & i \end{pmatrix} \) is given by:

\[
\text{det}(A) = a(ei - fh) - b(di - fg) + c(dh - eg)
\]

Now substitute the values from the matrix \( A \) to find the determinant. Would you like to proceed with this calculation?
