Find values of $x$ so that the matrix is invertible
$$A=beginpmatrix
x & 0 & x \
x & 2 & 1 \
2x & 0 & 2x \
endpmatrix$$



I know that a matrix is invertible if determinand is not $0$, but I don't know how to find the $x$ values. I feel is a tricky question and this matrix will not be invertible no matter which value $x$ takes, but I don't know how to prove that either.

You just have to calculate it determinant:



$$ det(A) = 4x^2 -4x^2 $$



Since it is always $0$ it is never invertibile.

    If $C_1$, $C_2$, and $C_3$ are the three columns of $A$, then $C_1-frac x2C_2=C_3-frac12C_2$. Therefore, the columns are not linearly independent and so the matrix is not invertible (whatever $x$ is).
