Let the matrix be

C=(abcdefghi)C = \begin{pmatrix} a & b & c\\ d & e & f\\ g & h & i \end{pmatrix} , the determinant is det(C)=a(eihf)+b(fgdi)+c(dhge).\det(C) = a(ei-hf)+ b(fg-di)+c(dh-ge) .

det(C+C)=det(2C)=2a2b2c2d2e2f2g2h2i=2a(2e2i2h2f)+2b(2f2g2d2i)+2c(2d2h2g2e)=23(a(eihf)+b(fgdi)+c(dhge))=8det(C)=32.\det (C+C) = \det(2C) = \begin{vmatrix} 2a & 2b & 2c\\ 2 d & 2e & 2f\\ 2g & 2h & 2i \end{vmatrix} = 2a(2e\cdot2i-2h\cdot2f)+ 2b(2f\cdot2g-2d\cdot2i)+2c(2d\cdot2h-2g\cdot2e) = 2^3\cdot\big(a(ei-hf)+ b(fg-di)+c(dh-ge)\big) = 8\cdot\det(C) = 32.
