Solution
A = `[(0, 1, -2),(-1, 0, 3),(x, -3, 0)]`
Since, A is a skew-symmetric matrix
∴ AT = –A
\[\begin{bmatrix}0 & 1 & - 2 \\ - 1 & 0 & 3 \\ x & - 3 & 0\end{bmatrix}^T = - \begin{bmatrix}0 & 1 & - 2 \\ - 1 & 0 & 3 \\ x & - 3 & 0\end{bmatrix}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix}0 & - 1 & x \\ 1 & 0 & - 3 \\ - 2 & 3 & 0\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}0 & - 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 0 & - 3 \\ - x & 3 & 0\end{bmatrix}\]
Corresponding elements of equal matrices are equal.
⇒ x = 2
Hence, the value of x is 2.
