If $\def\mat#1{\begin{bmatrix}#1\end{bmatrix}}A=\mat{a_{11}&a_{12}&\dots&a_{1n}\\\vdots&&&\vdots\\a_{n1}&a_{n2}&\dots&a_{nn}}$ is an $n\times n$ matrix, then \[\det A=a_{11}C_{11}+a_{12}C_{12}+\dots+a_{1n}C_{1n}.\] Here $C_{ij}$ are the cofactors of $A$.

This formula is called the Laplace expansion of $\det A$ along the first row, since $a_{11}, a_{12},\dots,a_{1n}$ make up the first row of $A$.
